The ELA site was developed as a free public service provided by Dr Chris McGrath, a barrister practising in environmental law and a senior lecturer at The University of Queensland.
It provides detailed case studies and resources to promote understanding of the way environmental law is applied in Australia, as well as hosting many of Dr McGrath’s lectures and publications.
Because of the depth and variety of resources – ranging from court documents to videos, schematics, media reports, quizzes and lectures – the site called for careful planning and organisation. Despite its complexity, it is able to be easily added to and modified because of the careful design of the back end.
