2024-2025 Law School Catalog

LAW-2160 Environmental Law Seminar

Examines the legal and policy issues surrounding the rapidly developing areas of environmental law-air and water pollution, energy development/conservation-with a special emphasis on the law of toxic and hazardous waste control. This course refines and applies a combination of skills acquired in the first-year curriculum. Through class discussions and case analysis, the course prepares students to practice as corporate counsel, prosecuting attorneys, public interest attorneys or government counsel in this burgeoning area of the law. Students using this course to fulfill the experiential learning requirement may not also use this same course to meet the legal writing requirement.
