ELR® — Environmental Law Report® Launches New Online Web Services

February 2002

The Environmental Law Institute, publishers of ELR®— Environmental Law Report has just announced that a radically expanded ELR online service is now available at https://www.elr.info and https://www.eli.org. The launch of this new suite of online services brings the entire 32 years of ELR coverage into well-organized, easy-to-use databases. ELR Online is just the latest improvement to ELR — Environmental Law Reporter, the trusted source for insight and understanding of the latest legal and regulatory developments for over 30 years.

Since 1970, ELR has been the essential resource for the environmental, health and safety, toxic tort, natural resource, and land use professional. With the launch of the new online service, ELR brings the information online in a new subscriber-only password protected website. The new site, comprising tens of thousands of files and documents, is available exclusively to subscribers of ELR. The site contains numerous databases that are not available anywhere else. More materials and databases will be added to the site in the near future.

“We are the only service of its kind, written and edited by experienced attorneys,” states ELR Editor-in-Chief John Turner. “No other publication has ELR’s breadth, and none are as cost-effective.” Turner continues, “We have a tool that can be readily accessed from anywhere by computer, and promptly updated.”

ELR is a research and reference tool that first appeared on the scene at the beginning of the environmental movement. Today, ELR covers issues on environmental, natural resources, toxic tort, health/safety, and land use law and policy. ELR is staffed by licensed attorneys who organize, summarize, and index the growing and ever-changing volume of information, highlighting what’s important for quick reference. In addition to the online services, ELR continues to publish in print its flagship publication News & Analysis. News & Analysis is the indispensable monthly journal that initially set ELR apart from all other reporting services. It tracks and summarizes all major environmental, toxic tort, natural resource and land use law developments, including legislative and administrative action, judicial decisions, and news. The monthly in-depth articles cover a wide spectrum of issues.

“Each day, thousands of practitioners use ELR,” says Turner. “They use it to research, to keep current on developments in law and policy, and to prepare briefs, position papers, and articles. These new ELR services put court opinions, news of legislative and regulatory developments, sophisticated analyses, federal and state agency policies and decisions, pleadings, and full texts of statutes, regulations, and treaties right at their fingertips.”
