PL 246 - Environmental Law and Administrative Agencies

This course begins with exposure of the student to the topic of administrative law. The need for, function of, and importance of the administrative agency in the government are outlined and explained. As paralegals are today allowed limited practice before these agencies, this course is most important. Environmental law and the role of this vital administrative agency are then presented. Topics include state and federal government regulation of the environment, including Superfund sites, pollution, and all matters that affect air, ground, and water resources.
