LAW 945 - Water and Natural Resources Law

Unit(s): 2 to 3

This course will explore the laws governing water resources and oil/natural gas production. We will begin with water rights for municipal, industrial, and agricultural supplies. We will discuss requirements to protect public trust resources such as native fisheries and other ecological uses. We will then turn to rights to extract oil/natural gas. We will consider how litigation, laws, and policies driven by drought and climate change will change these rights in the future. The course will emphasize practical understanding of these laws and related strategies for advocacy.
