The Energy Law and Policy seminar fulfills the Senior Writing Requirement for JD students who must submit a 35-page paper. FLLM and LLM students must meet the same 35-page paper requirement. For those LLM students who were admitted into the EENR LLM program (not the EENR certificate program for FLLMs), there is a thesis option and this seminar will also satisfy the thesis requirement. The thesis must be at least 50 pages long and receive a grade of B or better.. Students may choose a topic on any issue related to energy, resources and the environment and are expected to have a topic in mind, motivated by their own career or intellectual interest. The professor will help tailor the topic into a manageable issue. The seminar requires that students submit key stages of the research on a defined timetable of deadlines for topic selection, bibliography, outline, first draft, class presentation, and final paper. The class meets weekly and focuses on research techniques in the first weeks. Class readings cover general energy issues of the day, but are kept light so that students can focus on their research topic. 3 credit hours. See prerequisites below.
