[ Regulatory & Policy ] as a Related Elective for those interested in Environmental Law : Environmental issues are becoming more commonplace in the real estate law practice area. Real estate lawyers advise investors, owners, lenders, landlords, and tenants regarding federal, state, and local environmental laws, regulations and contractual obligations, including the investigation, compliance, remediation and litigation of environmental problems. This course considers land use control; zoning flexibility; vested property rights, development agreements, and takings; redevelopment; growth control; and how land use decision-making addresses environmental impacts. General course Description: This course focuses on the pragmatic (rather than theoretical) aspects of contemporary land use law and policy, including: nuisance as a land use tool and foundation for modern land use law; use and abuse of the "police power" (the legal basis for land use control); zoning flexibility; vested property rights, development agreements, and takings; redevelopment; growth control; and direct democracy. We explore how land use decisions affect environmental quality and how land use decision-making addresses environmental impacts.
