International Environmental Law Project

International Environmental Law Project I

Students participate directly in international environmental legal processes by preparing documents and materials for meetings of the parties to international conventions and organizations, such as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), the International Whaling Commission, and NAFTA’s environmental commission. Students may also prepare submissions to international tribunals to enforce international environmental law or draft new international environmental treaties. These documents may be prepared on behalf of environmental organizations, governments, or international institutions. Except in special circumstances, this is a full year course for three credits each semester. Grading is on a pass/no pass basis. A student must have the professor’s permission before registering for the course. Once approval to register for the clinic is received, a student does not need to allocate any bid points for the clinic.
