This is the introductory survey course for undergraduates interested in environmental law and policy, including both pre-law and non-pre-law students. The course is team taught by law students, under the supervision of BC Law Professor Jeffry Fowley. Several sections of this course are offered each spring term. The course covers the major environmental protection areas, and current issues, such as air and water pollution, climate change, regulation of toxic wastes, cleanup of contaminated sites, environmental justice, and ecosystem and endangered species protections. It also introduces students to the American legal system by covering a range of environmental legal actions, including both common law lawsuits by private persons, and governmental regulation and enforcement under the major environmental statutes.
