Description

In this 1 credit, seminar-styled class, we will explore a number of different and somewhat disconnected legal approaches used to hold corporations accountable for their environmental and public harms.  Weekly topics include false advertising claims, public nuisance; SEC disclosures; enforcement of regulatory requirements; right-to-know disclosures; and others.  The structure of the class and readings are set out by the professor, but the fifty minute weekly discussions will be led by student teams that rotate on a weekly basis.  The final grade will be based on the quality of the participatory contributions made throughout the semester; the quality of the specific classes led by the student; and twelve, short blog posts on the weekly readings.  Limit 14.
