ENR Law and Policy

Catalog description

Explores the policy underpinnings of environmental and natural resource issues and the legal responses to these problems. Students will gain a basic understanding of: (1) the causes of environmental problems, including energy, water, wildlife, and other western land use issues; (2) the range of policy and instrument choices; and (3) the approaches actually taken in current laws. Students also will apply the law in an interdisciplinary, problem-based learning context.
