Agriculture Law from an In-House Perspective

Catalog description

This course explores the work of an in-house lawyer through the lens of a life sciences agriculture company. Agriculture is a critical core component of a healthy society, and ensuring its success requires navigating significant regulation, policy development and societal interest. Through a grounding in some of the laws, regulations and policies involved in bringing agricultural inputs to market, this course brings to life the daily work of an in-house lawyer. By the end of this course, students will: (1) learn how to ground themselves in the laws that affect their company’s business; (2) use this grounding to understand and experience the practice of law in-house; (3) understand issues adjacent to the practice of law that impact an in-house lawyer’s work; and (4) identify opportunities for in-house practice.
