Environmental Law: Teaching Seminar

Boston College Law School

A seminar providing law students the opportunity to teach a University course in Environmental Law to graduate and undergraduate non-law students. Enrollment limited to eight law students selected from two area law schools--BC and BU. Teachers are given Boston College faculty status [but unsalaried!]. With the professor's advisory participation, two-person teams of law students teach an individually-designed section of a spring semester course in Environmental Law and legal process, each team's class enrollment comprising fifteen to thirty-five students from a wide variety of majors. A weekly law school seminar in the spring semester coordinates the research and teaching preparation. (Six preparatory sessions are required during the fall semester.) 2 pass/fail credits will be awarded in the Fall; 3 pass/fail credits will be awarded in the Spring; and there is the option for a 1-credit graded independent study in the Fall or Spring semester.
