Tony Arnold holds the Boehl Chair in
Property and Land Use, teaching in both the Louis D. Brandeis School of Law and
the School of Urban and Public Affairs. He is the Chair of the
interdisciplinary Center for Land Use and Environmental Responsibility.
In 2010-11, he served as the Law School’s Associate Dean for Academic Affairs
and Faculty Development.
Professor Arnold is a nationally and
internationally recognized scholar in the environmental regulation of land use,
water, and property. Experts have selected two of his law journals
as among the best published in land use and environmental law in their
respective years, including his Harvard Environmental Law Review article
on property as a web of interests. His books include Fair and
Healthy Land Use: Environmental Justice and Planning, Wet Growth:
Should Water Law Control Land Use?, and the co-authored sixth edition of Fundamentals
of Modern Property Law. He is currently co-authoring the very first Environmental
Sustainability Law and Policy textbook (Wolters Kluer Aspen
Publishing) and is undertaking a major empirical study of watershed
institutions.
In 2011, Professor Arnold received the
University of Louisville's Distinguished Faculty Award for Outstanding
Scholarship, Research, and Creative Activity in the Social Sciences. He
has published 7 books/monographs, 7 book chapters, and 25 scholarly articles, totaling
over 4400 pages in print. His works have been cited over 1300 times,
often discussed or quoted in the text of the citing works. Several of
Professor Arnold's concepts or ideas have had particular influence on our
knowledge and understanding: 1) the reconceptualization of property as a web of
interests; 2) "wet growth" principles, methods, and tools that integrate
land use, water quality, water use, and watershed health; 3) legal panarchy and
multi-scalar systemic functions and evolution; 4) fair and healthy land use
(integration of environmental justice, land use planning, and land use
regulation); and 5) public stewardship of water.
Professor Arnold's work is
multidiscipinary and has had broad impact across many different disciplines.
He studies the interconnectedness of legal, policy, social, and
ecological systems. He bases his research on concepts of panarchy,
complex adaptive systems, multi-scalar analysis, and institutional evolution.
He says, "My research aims to integrate innovative thinking about
environmentally responsible land use and water management across disciplines.
Society's complex problems demand trans-disciplinary knowledge and ideas.
I was drawn to U of L because of opportunities for interdisciplinary
teaching and research."
Professor Arnold's work has been
highly useful in the development of public policy and adaptation of
institutions to changing societal and environmental conditions. His
scholarship has been used by international organizations, government agencies
at all levels of government and throughout the U.S., Canada, and world,
nonprofit groups, environmental groups, community groups, professional
organizations, and business and industry groups, among others. Strongly
committed to public service, he has served as Chairman of the Planning
Commission of Anaheim, California, a city attorney in Texas, and co-chair of
the Louisville Metro Climate Change Task Force’s land use
committee. He has also served on numerous community and nonprofit
boards in Kentucky, California, and Texas, including a microenterprise loan
fund, a housing nonprofit, and a conservation land trust. His work
on “wet growth” methods received U.S. Environmental Protection Agency grant
funding to aid Kentucky communities to address land use impacts on water.
He observes, "I aim to 'build bridges' in my scholarship -- across
disciplines, across fragmented areas of law, and across theory and
practice."
Professor Arnold teaches courses in
property, land use planning and law, water resources law and policy,
environmental law and policy, farmland conservation and sustainable
agriculture, real estate transactions, biodiversity and ecosystem conservation,
and negotiations. He has received an outstanding professor-of-the-year
award, and been honored in a national forum by former students for his
mentoring of students. Several of his courses involve field research or service
learning. He believes that engagement with the "real world" of
land use, water, environmental, and property issues is essential to developing
an excellent understanding of these issues. An enthusiast for nature and
the outdoors and avid boot-wearer, Professor Arnold acknowledges, "I like
to 'get my cowboy boots muddy' doing empirical research and field-based
teaching on complex social, legal, and ecological systems."
Professor Arnold received his Doctor
of Jurisprudence with Distinction from Stanford Law School, where he was
founding executive editor of the Stanford Law & Policy Review and
Graduate Student Fellow in the Center for Conflict and Negotiation. He
received his Bachelor of Arts with Highest Distinction from the University of
Kansas, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and earned two
national honors, the Harry S. Truman Scholarship and the TIME Magazine College
Achievement Award. He currently chairs the Advisory Board for the
University of Kansas College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
He has held distinguished chairs or
visitorships at the University of Florida, University of Houston, University of
Wyoming, Chapman University, and University of Puerto Rico. He has given
distinguished lectureships at the College of William and Mary, University of
Colorado, Florida State University, University of Montana, and University of
Wyoming. He is affiliated with research centers at the University of
Colorado, University of Florida, University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill,
and University of Louisville.
Professor Tony Arnold discusses land use and water issues with law and planning students (and now alums) Connie Barr Archer and Dustin Wallen.
