This course examines the core federal statutes that students are likely to apply in the Clinic, including the Endangered Species Act and the Animal Welfare Act. Students will gain practical lawyering skills through class discussions and in-class activities, and build a foundation for an ethical, reflective legal practice. Foundational topics covered will include Article III standing, Administrative Procedure Act review, rulemaking petitions, and basic litigation, regulatory, legislative, and organizing strategies. The seminar will also introduce you to advocacy strategies under federal and state laws.
