[Number] 7800 - 6 [Semester] 11542015 Spring [Description] This seminar will explore the important issues associated with the use of conservation easements as a land protection tool. It will begin with a discussion of the history of the use of conservation easements in the United States and end with an exploration of emerging issues in the field. All aspects of the law will be covered, including federal tax law, state property law, and state law governing the operation of charities and their use and disposition of charitable assets. Guest speakers may be invited to present to the class. To satisfy the seminar requirements, each student will be required to complete a major research and writing project. The project will be edited and critiqued by the Professor, the work must be rewritten until it is of high quality, and each project will be reviewed and critiqued by all students as part of end-of-the-semester oral presentations. Students may write on a wide range of topics concerning conservation easements and other incentive-based land protection tools, nonprofit conservation organization governance, and related private land conservation issues.
