A central objective of this course is to teach and empower the student to frame discussions of complex issues related to environmental matters and to design their own creative solutions grounded in a nuanced understanding of Environmental Law.
The position paper outlines a problem and advances an arguable position of that problem to draw attention to issues in the field and to highlight paths forward. If the position paper uses a case comment approach that emerges from a legal decision, or a series of legal decisions, the position paper scouts ahead and frequently draws from multiple disciples to design multidisciplinary solutions in sound legal opinion.
The Position Paper should be between 4000-5000 words. Assignments must reference following the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation (McGill Guide).
The uploaded PP will help the writer as well.
