This is an excellent course for anyone interested in Land Use Law, and it has a great practical skills training component. It is also an evening course, which might be convenient for students who will be working or doing externships or internships during the semester. FSU DEPARTMENT OF URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING URP 5122 Ref # 9368 Planning Dispute Resolution (Negotiation, Collaboration and Consensus Building) Fall 2019 Tuesdays 5:15 to 8:00; 111 Bellamy Dr. Tom Taylor Pepper Building, Rm. 275 850-933-9444 ttaylor at fsu.edu Course Description Our communities, country and world are facing unprecedented economic, environmental, political and social challenges. Planners, public administrators, lawyers, business people and others negotiate every day, participate in meetings and prepare materials for decision-making. Their success and that of their employers, shareholders, clients, and communities depends on their expertise AND on their ability to negotiate, advocate and seek consensus on quality solutions. This course is designed to provide the skills needed to analyze complex and controversial situations and negotiate and facilitate shared solutions. We will address challenges related to: permitting, siting locally unwanted land uses, enforcing environmental regulations, implementing projects and programs, allocating public services and resources, intergovernmental coordination and plan, policy and rule development. We will explore collaborative alternatives to adversarial or unilateral decision approaches that often drain public and private resources, damage important relationships, result in less than ideal solutions or fail to resolve the issues in any way. We will ?learn by doing? in negotiation role-plays, small and full group exercises and individual and group projects. The class challenge is to shape a shared understanding (practical theory) for advocacy, consensus seeking and dispute resolution that can be used by public and private planners and others. This ?challenge-based learning? provides a model for collaborative problem solving within and between groups in a wide range of personal and professional settings at all levels. Students from all departments are encouraged to enroll. Best wishes, HJW Hannah Wiseman Attorneys?

The Florida Section of the Association is hosting its annual conference in Tallahassee this year, and this is a great opportunity for you to network with consultants, attorneys, and other professionals in the area. The conference has interesting presentations about recent developments in environmental law, including law specific to Florida, and it includes student competitions involving student posters-preparing a poster that summarizes and analyzes a recent environmental law case, for example-and "environmental challenges," in which students address a hypothetical environmental problem. In the past, FSU Law students have won second place and third place honors in these competitions. Participating in these types of competitions can be a nice resume builder in addition to a good learning experience. Students who volunteer or compete at the event can register for free, and other students can register for a reduced price. I encourage you to attend.
