Clean Air Law

Catalog description

This course introduces students to the principal aspects of ensuring compliance with the Clean Air Act, obtaining (or challenging) permits for new facilities, and defending (or bringing) enforcement cases for violations of the Act. The course will be most helpful for students in business and technical courses of study who may be responsible for ensuring compliance with the Clean Air Act. This course will include case study-style projects that will allow non-lawyer students to apply classroom instruction to real-world situations that apply the legal principles and EPA policies affecting sources of air pollution. This course will also develop practical skills in basic legal research and the ability to find and apply EPA guidance documents in the contexts of compliance, permitting, and enforcement.
