Duke Law School offers more than a dozen courses dealing with climate change, including Climate Change and the Law, Climate Change and Financial Markets, Environmental Law, Environmental Litigation, Energy Law, International Environmental Law, Ocean and Coastal Law and Policy, Water Resources Law, and Food, Agriculture and the Environment. Students can also take courses such as Administrative Law, Federal Policy Regulation, and Risk Regulation in the U.S., Europe and Beyond that address policymaking on the environment and climate change by federal agencies and international bodies.
In addition, Duke Law School provides experiential student experiences through the Duke Environmental Law and Policy Clinic. Climate and environmental justice are central to the clinic’s ongoing work in Badin, N.C., where decades of aluminum production contaminated soil and water in the region. With a grant from The Duke Endowment, Duke Law professor and clinic co-director Ryke Longest and clinic staff scientist Dr. Nancy Lauer are leading students in conducting field tests for contaminants at those sites.
