LAW 219 - Climate Change and Environmental Law Seminar.

This course will provide an overview of the emerging law on climate change, and provide students interested in environmental law with an opportunity to engage in a serious writing project. Students will have the option of developing their own paper topics or writing on a subject that will be helpful to the Southern Environmental Law Center. The first two-thirds of the course will cover five main areas of climate change law and policy: international agreements, U.S. federal regulatory efforts, the European Union’s and other countries’ domestic approaches, transnational efforts by states and cities, and litigation. The final third of the course will be devoted to student presentations of their research projects.Two hours.Osofsky
