Law 271: Environmental Law and Policy - Lecture 3

Common Law Environmental Doctrines

Instructor Holly Doremus. This introductory course is designed to explore fundamental legal and policy issues in environmental law. Through examination of environmental common law and key federal environmental statutes, including the National Environmental Policy Act, Clean Air Act, and Clean Water Act, it exposes students to the major challenges to environmental law and the principal approaches to meeting those challenges, including litigation, command and control regulation, technology forcing, market incentives, and information disclosure requirements. With the addition of cross-cutting topics such as risk assessment and environmental federalism, it also gives students a grounding in how choices about regulatory standards and levels of regulatory authority are made.

this is a wonderful timely lecture. I bet with all the recent oil spills this information is being applied as we speak

I am an Environmental Compliance Inspector. This kind of information is invaluable in helping me to better do my job and help the environment. The public good that is done in distance training like this is incalcuable. I only wish that Holly would repeat the questions, so I could hear what the students are asking.
