BA 345 - Environmental Law

Institution:

Saint Vincent College

Subject:

Description:

This course presents the case for government intervention at the federal, and to a lesser extent, on the state and local levels to protect the environment as an invaluable public or collective good. The materials presume that water, air and land pollution must be controlled and mitigated, and that the authority of the state must be put behind these efforts through the activity of agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources. However, intervention must be fair and the policies and procedures used must incorporate notions of due process. Nor must it stifle the productive capacity of private industry, or private property in general. Speakers from various agencies will be invited to present their perspectives and functions. Cross-listed as PS 390. Offered Fall semester. Three credits.
