(University of Oregon School of Law, 2011) Kroger, John; Long, Geoffrey
In an effort to learn more about Oregon’s prosecution of
environmental crimes, Journal of Environmental Law and Litigation
(JELL) articles editor Geoffrey Long sat down with Attorney General
John Kroger. AG Kroger has made protection of the environment one
of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) primary goals. The DOJ
investigates and prosecutes environmental crimes, ensures the proper
cleanup and containment of hazardous and nuclear waste, protects
roadless wilderness areas, and fights to protect endangered species
and important waterways. The following is a transcript of the
interview from June 30, 2011.
