This section examines environmental law as a science and as an academic discipline.
It outlines its content as a system of knowledge about the legal regulation of interaction between society and the environment, and also analyzes forms of expression of scientific and educational approaches.
Special attention is given to the significance of environmental law in the educational process, its role in training specialists and developing practical skills in applying environmental legislation.
Environmental law as a science represents a system of legal knowledge about the general patterns of interaction between humans, society and the environment, about the characteristics of legal regulation of social relations arising in the course of such interaction1. The science of environmental law finds its expression in relevant scientific publications, books, monographs.
Environmental law as an academic discipline is a system of knowledge about the science of environmental law and the implementation of environmental legislation. According to A.Yu. Vinokurov, the task of environmental law as an academic discipline is to convey to students of legal universities and faculties the minimum level of scientific knowledge and practical application defined by the requirements of the State Standard for higher professional education2. Environmental law as an academic discipline is expressed in textbooks, study guides, practice books on environmental law and other educational literature. Thus, it appears that precisely the branch of environmental law mediates the emergence of ecological legal science and the academic discipline.
