Course Description
This course will address federal public land law and policy, focusing on the management regimes for the public lands and their natural resources, including national forests, national parks, and lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The course will pay particular attention to how law and policy have changed across U.S. history and to the allocation of power between Congress and executive branch administrative agencies. Within the context of public land law, we will explore issues related to the political, administrative and technical feasibility of a variety of policy choices for vital resources such as timber, minerals, wilderness, and wildlife.
