पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program trains lawyers to handle the complex legal and policy issues that surround three areas: energy production, transportation, and use; pollution prevention and biodiversity protection; and natural resources exploitation and conservation. Students can focus on one of the three areas or pursue broader studies of the interrelationship between energy development and policies to protect the environment. Economic and political forces play a role in all of these areas, and applicable law may be local, national, or international in scope. The Law Center curriculum gives students the opportunity to acquire or deepen their analytical and practice skills for a career in these complex subject areas. Faculty with international reputations in energy law and domestic and international environmental policy teach the courses, and a strong corps of adjunct law professors adds important skills and perspectives. In addition to their on-campus work, LL.M. students have many opportunities to network and attend programs on “hot topics” offered by the Association of International Petroleum Negotiators, the World Affairs Council, the Baker Institute’s Energy Forum, and three sections of the Houston Bar Association: environmental law; oil, gas and energy law; and international law.
