If you are interested in reading any of the litigation materials prior to the event, they are located here. Please note that only the plaintiffs will attend the panel because the defendants (the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the Florida Governor's Office) declined the invitation to participate due to a policy of avoiding comment on pending litigation.

I think I can provide you an excellent experience in the course. I have taught the course for over 35 years and am considered one of the founders of this area of law; I have been an author on the leading texts on the subject since the 1980s; I served as one of the legal experts for the National Commission on Ocean Policy; and I am passionate about our oceans and coasts. We will be using a very up to date text that my coauthor and I just published a few months ago. This course provides an overview of the law and governance of the oceans and the coasts that affect and are affected by the seas. Layers of governance range from international law to local governments attempting to deal with protection of citizens' right to use the beach and withthe effects of climate change. The course will include issues concerning coastal regulation and 5th amendment "takings," public beach access issues, how to address and who will pay for coastal adaptation to climate change, marine pollution (including oil pollution [Deepwater Horizon] and plastics pollution issues), and protection of the marine environment and marine biodiversity. The oceans and coasts seem to be an area where conflicting and overlapping jurisdictions constantly collide in the attempt to protect, conserve or develop resources and to react to the pressures of economics, politics and the environmental change. This makes the practice of law to address coastal and ocean concerns particularly complex. The course does not have a final, but 3 papers (7-9 pages) are required at intervals during the course (each 30% of the grade). The course is concentrated, due to other conflicts I have, and classes will end on March 4). The final paper paper is due on March 9, completing all the course requirements. All the best, Donna Christie, FSU Professor Emerita of Law Donna R.

Miami Law, deadline January 31 We are excited to announce that we are hiring a new Mysun Foundation Fellow to start in May 2020. This is a one-year fellowship (with the possibility of renewal) based in University of Miami School of Law's Environmental Justice Clinic. For more information on how to join our team and on our cutting edge work, please go to: https://tinyurl.com/ejcmysunapp The deadline to apply is January 31, 2020. The University of Miami School of Law's Environmental Justice Clinic advocates for and seeks to empower low-and moderate-income communities who disproportionately bear the environmental, economic, and health burdens of the development, implementation, and enforcement of the law. Employing a community lawyering approach, we seek systemic change for our clients through advocacy, public policy resources, rights education, and transactional assistance. Our work sits at the intersection of civil rights, environmental, poverty, and public health law, tackling issues in South Florida including climate change, displacement, contamination, environmental health, municipal equity, and more. Increasingly, we view our work through the lens of climate change, one of the most significant social justice issues of our time, and which will be felt most acutely by the poor and marginalized.

We're a bit late in the cycle for posting a fellowship announcement, but I ask you to spread word to any former students or current fellows who might be interested in conservation law research in a collaborative, interdisciplinary setting. I'll be chairing the search and will continue to be the mentor for the conservation law fellow. The Environmental Resilience Institute (ERI; https://eri.iu.edu/index.html) at Indiana University (IU) invites applications for a 2-year Fellow position in conservation law to begin in the summer or early fall of 2020. We define conservation broadly to encompass all the issues associated with social-environmental resilience. Applicants with interests in private-land conservation, energy law, easements and other property tools, bird migration conservation, and public-private collaborations are especially encouraged to apply. Other fellows and ERI faculty will serve as potential cross-disciplinary collaborators. Fellows may work with law faculty and other attorneys affiliated with the Conservation Law Center (http://conservationlawcenter.org/). Starting salary is $70,000. The position is part of IU's Grand Challenge initiative in Prepared for Environmental Change (http://grandchallenges.iu.edu/p4ec). The successful candidate will join a cohort of ERI Fellows (https://eri.iu.edu/about-us/researchers/index.html#fellows) and a growing community of colleagues across the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities who are engaged in this collaborative program of research and communication about environmental change. Applicants must have a J.D. prior to employment along with relevant research or practice experience in conservation law. The fellow will receive a research scholar appointment at the Indiana University Maurer School of Law, which has a cohort of several law fellows in other fields. The law fellow's office will be located at the Conservation Law Center, where there is another fellow handling clinical matters. The conservation law fellow will be invited to participate in Maurer faculty workshops. Teaching a law course, while not required, is an option. The focus of this fellowship is research. Excellent fellow candidates will have experience with and openness toward multi- and trans-disciplinary collaborative research. Some prior publication or work-in-progress is preferred. Fellows will be expected to develop independent research programs that interface with ERI's multidisciplinary initiative. To ensure full consideration, applications should be submitted by February 6, 2020 but will continue to be considered until the position is filled.
