Overview
The journal was established in 1977 as Environs, a "clearinghouse for the dissemination of all environmental information relevant to the Solano-Yolo-Sacramento tri-county area." Early editions of the journal were published in a "layperson-oriented style" and did not utilize "legalese." In 1989, the journal obtained its current name to reflect its broader focus and the inclusion of "non-legal policy articles" in future publications. In 2016, Washington and Lee University's Law Journal Rankings placed Environs among the top thirty environmental, natural resources, and land use law journals with the highest impact factor.
