Environ/Land Use Law

  • Class number: 12374
  • Term: Spring 2006
  • Instructor: TBA

This course prepares students to both effectively advise their clients about environmental matters in a land use context and to present effective environmental arguments in a land use proceeding. Called the forgotten agenda of the environmental movement, land use law controls thousands of daily decisions, whose cumulative impact is only recently understood as one of the most significant factors affecting our environment. This course will arm land use and environmental attorneys with the tools to advocate environmental issues in the land use context by exploring the growing body of law and legislative tools that recognize the inherent connection between the land use and environmental laws. Students will be required to participate in several in-class simulations, attend a municipal zoning hearing, and write a paper relevant to the topic. Environmental Law (650) or Land Use Controls (721) are pre or co-requisites.
