There are numerous considerations a student planning to specialize in environmental law should explore. The student should review the course catalog to determine the number and variety of courses offered by the law school. Courses in international environmental law should be included in the school’s offerings because environmental law issues very often involve more than one country. Additionally, the opportunity to earn a certificate in environmental law will help the student when it comes time to market himself or herself to potential employers. The student should also review the prior experience and scholarship of the faculty teaching those courses. Further, opportunities to gain hands-on experience in this relatively new field are important factors, which can help the student develop a broad base of knowledge in the field.
