Practitioners often treat these three subjects as distinct, yet closely interrelated. The courses in this area introduce students to the statutory and administrative regimes governing issues related to the development and exploitation of natural resources, the protection of the environment, and the policies around land use. They challenge students to develop critical perspectives on the complex policy issues governments, communities, citizens, and the lawyers who work for them face.
