LAW 6396 - Energy Transport and Trade


Credits: 3

Focuses on complex and emerging issues in energy trade and transport law. Explores the physical and legal forces that shape energy transport markets in oil, coal, natural gas, and other electricity. Examines how energy transport projects, such as oil and gas pipelines, liquefied natural gas facilities, export terminals, and power lines, are authorized by regulators and given the power of eminent domain. Scrutinizes supply chain standards for energy projects that favor energy sources based on how they were produced in other jurisdictions, favoring fuels designated as clean or renewable. Also examines legal limits on energy trade restrictions between states and between countries. Students analyze and discuss important recent energy transport legal decisions and scholarship. Students are expected to submit comments and questions on each week’s scholarship, occasionally present to the class, and engage in class discussion.
