Description:

Description: This two- credit seminar explores environmental problems that transcend national boundaries and thus implicate questions of international law. After an introduction to the international legal system in general and as it pertains to the environment, potential topics include depletion of the ozone layer, biologically modified foodstuffs, invasive species, trade and the environment, and the loss of biodiversity. Given the recent increase in the number and severity of catastrophic storms and other weather-related disasters and the growing documented evidence of global warming, there will be a special emphasis on climate change as one of the most urgent issues now facing the global community. Students will be required to write a research paper on a topic of their choice (suggestions are available) and are expected to participate in class discussions. 2.00credit(s) Restrictions: Must be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Law School
