Each student will concentrate on one of six pieces of major federal fisheries-related legislation (e.g., Magnuson-Stevens, Endangered Species Act, Clean Water Act, etc), documenting a case study in detail that shows how the legislation either failed to accomplish the goal or was instrumental in achieving it. In this way, the class will learn why some laws work and others don't. Results of the semester's work will be presented at an all-day Symposium - tentatively scheduled for Saturday, Dec 13, 2008 and open to the public. This symposium will feature the work of both this class and LAW 792. The students will construct two products for their grade. First is a poster of the case study to be presented and explained at the Symposium. The second is a stand-alone PowerPoint presentation explaining the case study that will be put up on a special website to house it. Contact the instructor at philipp@uiuc.edu for permission to enroll.
