Fields of Law 1.: Intro to Environmental Law

This is an interesting introductory lecture on Environmental Law by instructor Holly Doremus, hosted by Berkeley School of Law. If you find this interesting, be sure to watch the follow-up lectures. The above-shown video is only the first of an entire series of lectures on Environmental policy and law by Doremus. Very interesting and launches the Pre-Law blog’s efforts to cover several different areas of law.

Have a look at the Pre-Law workshops for this upcoming Fall semester.  You can find them by clicking on the “Workshops” tab above or clicking on this link:  http://sas.buffalo.edu/prelaw/workshops/.

This main page serves as a blog that will be updated frequently throughout the semester.  This journal-format will keep you updated on upcoming Pre-law events, such as club meetings, workshops, informationals, and the occasional link to an article.
