The Environmental Law Writing Seminar is designed for students who are keenly interested in environmental, land use, natural resources law or energy law, and want to contribute to legal scholarship. It offers an opportunity to produce papers dealing with important opinions and other developments in the field. There is also the possibility for inclusion in the Ecology Law Quarterly’s Annual Review of Environmental and Natural Resource Law or ELQ's online journal (at the journal's discretion). Students will work on crafting their papers in the fall and will work on editing and polishing them in the spring. For students who wish to submit their paper for possible publication in ELQ's Annual Review or online journal, topics must either be chosen from a list generated by ELQ and the Professor or approved by ELQ and the Professor. During the process, students will improve their writing and research skills while helping to shape the development of the law. Students must have previously taken or be concurrently enrolled in Environmental Law and Policy or Energy Law and Policy.
Students interested in the course must apply for admission. Applications will be available through the Center for Law, Energy, and the Environment. Because this class provides papers for ELQ’s Annual Review, once J.D. students select their topic, they may not drop the course and must complete their paper. Students whose papers are accepted for publication for ELQ following the end of the fall semester must enroll in the spring semester Writing Seminar.
J.D. applications will be due on April 8th. Students will be notified by April 12th if they have been admitted to the course. LLM applications will be due July 15th, with a response by August 1st. After these deadlines pass, late applications will be considered on a rolling basis as space permits.
Attendance at the first class is mandatory for all currently enrolled and waitlisted students; any currently enrolled or waitlisted students who are not present on the first day of class (without prior permission of the instructor) will be dropped. The instructor will continue to take attendance throughout the add/drop period and anyone who moves off the waitlist into the class must continue to attend or have prior permission of the instructor in order not to be dropped.
