The protection of the environment is the pivotal concern of our age, and the manner in which law works with other disciplines to address environmental disruption is of fundamental importance. This module is designed for and open to everyone on the Penryn Campus. It has been created to give final year students, from any discipline, the skills to be part of an inter-disciplinary legal team that uses law and legal institutions creatively and effectively for the protection of the environment. This module gives you an understanding of international and domestic legal instruments and key court cases in relation to environmental destruction. It also gives you an ability to understand the role of evidence particularly expert evidence and to use them effectively in creating and using law to protect the environment. It gives you the experience of using the skills and knowledge that you have acquired in a mock ecocide mooting/trial session which you will take part in during the module.
