It is comprehensive in its approach to these areas. It will teach you how to bring a federal enforcement action; negotiate a settlement; prepare documents and strategy for a citizen's suit; counsel a corporation on environmental compliance; and comment on an EPA proposed rule as well as develop other relevant skills.
