How the environment is regulated in law and how this is intimately linked to effectiveness of each type of regulation in redressing wrongs and making reparation.

- Directives
- Domestic Legislation and regulations

You will also practice the skills of ‘thinking like a lawyer’ to make the best case you can for the environment.
