One of the most eccentric personalities ever. This class was extremely challenging and was heavy on the work, but it was entirely the most rewarding class I've taken

This is a seminar intended for undergraduates (both pre-law and non pre-law) interested in environmental law and policy. It covers selected topics in depth and thus is a good supplement to the introductory Environmental Law and Policy course, although the introductory course is not a required pre-requisite. Topics covered include: (1) the Clean Water Act and the Boston Harbor cleanup; (2) the RCRA hazardous waste regulations (3) contaminated (both superfund and brownfield) site cleanups; and (4) sustainability/toxic use reduction efforts by businesses. This course will emphasize the practical aspects of environmental law and policy including learning how to read and understand environmental regulations and permits, and will include several written exercises (in lieu of exams). This course is open to seniors and juniors. Sophomores may be admitted, but only with the permission of the instructor.
