Abstract

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.
