LAW 511 - International Environmental Law Seminar

Spring 3 Linda Malone

The seminar focuses on bilateral, regional and international agreements and principles governing ocean pollution, air pollution, hazardous and nuclear waste, deforestation, and other environmental problems with a global impact. The seminar will also address population control and food shortages under international law, especially in developing countries, and how these problems relate to international peace and security. The basic courses, Law 409 Public International Law and Law 424 Environmental Law, are not prerequisites, but are recommended. The seminar grade will be based on class participation and a paper that satisfies the Writing Requirement.
