About This Course

Environmental law is constantly in flux these days and its intersection with constitutional law makes for a fascinating study that may prove promising in the area of public interest environmental law and advocacy, specifically fundamental environmental rights.

Known as Green Amendments, these are self-executing provisions that may be added to the bill of rights of a constitution which serve to recognize and to protect people’s rights, include people of future generations, to clean water and air, a healthy environment and stable climate.

This CLE course will explain how the meticulous scrutiny of government actions with regards to environmental matters have developed in Pennsylvania, Montana and New York, three states with Green Amendments and other states might enact such rights to protect the environment.
