3/04/05—The BC Environmental Law Society, with the support of Goodwin Procter LLP, is pleased to announce a new not-for-credit interactive course Environmental and Land Use Practice Skills. The new course will meet beginning March 9, 2005, and run for the following six Wednesdays, from 4:15-5:45 pm in East Wing Room 400.

The course will focus on the practice of environmental law. Participants will gain exposure to basic research and major statutes/topics within the field, giving them an advantage in obtaining and excelling in summer employment. Presenters will represent a variety of sectors and viewpoints. Most of the participants last year were 1Ls, though all students are encouraged to attend.

Presented by practitioners in the field, including several prominent attorneys at Goodwin Procter, the second annual workshop series will take a hands-on approach to teaching. The series will not only examine research skills and general principles of administrative law, but also major statutes and areas of practice, such as the Clean Water Act, Superfund, land use and due diligence. Many of the skills gained from the series will be applicable to regulatory practice in fields outside environmental law.

This series is largely a product of the tireless efforts of Robert L. Brennan, Jr. (BC Law, 1996; BC, 1993), an Associate at Goodwin Procter LLP, who has dedicated countless hours to the development of this series.

Please contact Jeff Perlman at perlmanj@bc.edu for more information or to sign up for the series. Walk-ins are welcome.
