Climate Change Law and Policy

Course Abbreviation: 
ULWR 960
Credits: 
3
Credit Only: N Anon Gr: N

Climate change is here and it is already transforming the law (not to mention the planet); the law we have inherited, in turn, is shaping our response to the threat. In this seminar, we will explore these sociolegal dynamics while also establishing a foundational understanding of the wide range of international, national, and subnational laws and policies that any lawyer in the emerging practice of “climate change law” must know. This course satisfies the upper-level writing seminar requirement.
