LAWS 2225.03听听 Environmental Law Placement听
CREDIT HOURS: 3

The Environmental Law Placement provides students with the opportunity to work with environmental law practitioners in Halifax during the Winter term. Students will take part in the work of their host organization assisting with research and other tasks as requested, on a specific pre-selected project. Students will be required to spend nine hours a week on placement work. Placements can either be directly with the East Coast Environmental Law Association (ECEL), or, on request, with another suitable host organization, including government, non-governmental organizations or in-house council in the private sector. Students will be evaluated based on performance in the placement including assessment of memoranda written for the placement supervisor as well as the major paper to be written on a related topic. Students will be assigned a project that is suitable as a major paper topic and are encouraged to write a major paper that is closely related to the placement project. While the overall evaluation of the placement will be conducted by the faculty supervisor; the placement supervisor will be consulted with respect to the student's performance in the placement as appropriate. This course fulfils the major paper requirement. Students will be selected by the Director of the Marine & Environmental Law Program (MELP) (in consultation with ECEL when the placement will be carried out with ECEL) based on academic standing, demonstrated interest in the field of environmental law and policy, and supervisor availability. Applicants who have already secured a placement with an external host organization will be required to submit a statement outlining the host鈥檚 capacity to supervise the placement (contact MELP for additional information). Only students who have taken Environmental Law I before the start of the placement will be considered. Interested students should apply in writing to the Marine & Environmental Law Program at melp@dal.ca in the academic year prior to the year in which they wish to participate in the placement program. Applications shall consist of a written statement confirming the student's experience and/or interest in environmental law, and a copy of law school grades to date. Enrollment: Limited to 3 students.
