Notes
This class will teach you the skills you need to try an environmental case in front
of a judge (not a jury), pursue injunctive relief, or participate in a contested case
hearing. It will teach you how to draft findings of fact, conduct cross examination,
apply the rules of evidence, and use documents in a trial. You will learn by doing
-- and re-doing. You will also discover whether you really want to litigate.
You should not take this class if you: hate environmental law; despise speaking
in public, or thinking on your feet, or shudder at the thought of objecting.
