LAW-6620 OIL AND GAS LAW
Oil and Gas Law provides an overview of U.S. oil and gas law and, broadly speaking, will involve the review of the ownership, transfer, and development of oil and gas resources. During the course, students will gain an understanding of basic oil and gas law principles while studying property, contract, administrative/regulatory, tort, and constitutional law. Students will also study the impacts on the natural environment and social systems that are associated with the development of oil and gas resources. Finally, students will examine the small but growing corpus of case law, legal theories, policies, and/or administrative action regarding emerging (or relatively dormant) technologies (e.g., shale gas drilling, underground coal gasification, etc.)
