LAW 7351 - Property, Natural Resources, and Land Use


Credits: 3

This seminar explores the legal issues that surround the conservation and use of natural resources, focusing on property ownership of and regulatory structures over public lands, mines and minerals, wildlife, wind, and other resources. These issues include the often competing claims of the public interest versus private property rights; the role of private contracts, judicial oversight, and agency management in land use decision making; and stakeholder conflicts in natural resource management. The seminar uses case studies, primary and secondary materials, and interdisciplinary approaches to analyze ownership, use, and regulation of natural resources. Students have an opportunity to write a paper on topics of interest within the fields of property, natural resources, and land use.
