Historical understandings of law play an increasingly important part in American environmental policy. In courts, legislatures, and the broader forum of public opinion, many environmental programs are challenged on grounds of legitimacy or fairness, by advocates relying on historical claims about the law of land ownership and use, resources and the environment. Prominent examples are "original intent" Constitutional jurisprudence and the "property rights" movement. Environmentalist historians and writers have made claims about law that also merit examination. This discussion course will introduce students to the history of law (including common-law cases, statutes and Constitutional provisions) bearing on land use, resources, wildlife and pollution, and help them critically evaluate the history-based claims in environmental debate. Readings include primary (historical) texts and secondary (interpretive) texts. No prior background in law or history is required. Instructor: Roady
