The Centre for Environmental, Energy and Land Use Law regularly offers a wide range of core courses in environmental, energy, land use and resource law. Our faculty, as well as distinguished adjunct and visiting professors, also offers a wide range of advanced courses in this field. In the second and third years, we offer students a very wide range of specialized courses and clinical experience. We have particularly strong programs in commercial law, environmental law and international law. In each of these areas, we offer courses and experiences that go beyond the basics. Our Young Women students can earn certificates in any of these three subjects. We also offer an LL.M. in Environmental Law and Policy, an LL.M. in Business Law, an LL.M. in U.S. law for foreign lawyers and a Master of Laws program for university graduates.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of the various forms of intellectual property for which protection is granted in the United States, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, designs, semiconductor chips, and plant variety protection. It examines the mechanisms by which protection is provided, the scope of protection, the manner in which protection is applied and the various restrictions on rights, such as fair use doctrines. Intellectual property is relevant to virtually all areas of commercial and creative activity, and lawyers will inevitably deal with intellectual property issues in their practice. This course is designed both for students who want a general education in the field and those who intend to specialize in the field and can take (or have taken) more specific courses on intellectual property. This course introduces students to business law, finance and business transactions. The course covers key topics in economics, economics, and finance that students should be familiar with when planning transactional work or business disputes.

It deals with these topics through the prism of corporate and commercial law (sales, secure transactions, commercial paper). Second-year students taking the course will be introduced to a core set of concepts that they will examine in more detail as they take more advanced courses in the field. Third-year students with little or no experience in corporate and commercial law learn the basic legal concepts they are likely to see in practice and in the bar exam. Some students opt for courses that give a broad foundation in legal theory and the American legal system. Others specialize in areas such as commercial law, international law, intellectual property, environmental law or criminal law, and acquire more sophisticated expertise in their discipline. Applied Legal Concepts is a 2-credit course designed to help students improve their law school work and law exam preparation process. The course focuses on improving students` analytical and written skills, with particular emphasis on skills required for effective self-directed learning and self-assessment of learning. Students analyze and apply basic problem-based concepts focused on practice as well as bar exam essays and multiple-choice questions. Students receive in-depth individual formative feedback on critical reading skills, problem identification, response organization and structure, and time management, and practical techniques for creating effective rule statements, factual analysis, and conclusions. The course will review selected substantive law topics and complement and develop the concepts studied during the first year in areas such as tort, contracts and real estate.

The course will also explore selected concepts that are briefly or not covered at all in introductory courses in these areas and that students are expected to master in preparation for high-stakes exams. Students have access to study content and materials and spend most of the time in class working and reviewing practice problems.
