The following is a guest post by Louis Myers, a legal reference librarian at the Law Library of Congress. Louis has authored several blog posts for In Custodia Legis, including New Acquisition: The Trial of Governor Picton, A Case of Torture in Trinidad, Indigenous Law Research Strategies: Settlement Acts and Looking into the Past: Space Telescopes and the Law of Outer Space.

The Law Library of Congress recently published its report, Comparative Recent Developments in Environmental Law, which explores recent updates to post-Brexit UK law and recent developments in U.S. law during the Biden administration. The report focuses on two of the major aspects of environmental protection: clean air and clean water. The report, co-authored by Carson Lloyd, includes an overview of recent executive, legislative, and judicial approaches to environmental law from each country.
