The force of extreme weather events seem to gain strength each year, sharpening our focus on the importance of environmental law and policy, in both mitigating and adapting to climate-related harms. At the same time, we remain focused on the ongoing challenges relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, global economic hardship, and racial justice. These are daunting times, but I draw deep inspiration from the dedication of our students as they approach the demands of leadership and stewardship in this new era. Please read on for some highlights about their experiences here at FSU, as well as those of our environmental, energy, and land use alumni and faculty. As always, we hope this newsletter finds you well and looking forward. -ER Program Lecture: The Longest Oil Spill in History [https://d31hzlhk6di2h5.cloudfront.net/20201007/40/47/9d/24/5db792a7058f87f4e50c13c9_1080x606.jpg] Monday September 28 - 12:30-1:30 PM via Zoom Ian R.

We are sharing the following policy for Academic Year 2020-21 to address these concerns. In general, Environmental Certificate Students must be present at enrichment events in person to receive certificate credit. However, due to the pandemic, enrichment events are taking place over Zoom, and some courses have been scheduled during the lunch window normally preserved for programmatic events. For that reason, in 2020-21, certificate students unable to attend an enrichment event synchronously due to a conflict with a pre-scheduled FSU course may request permission from the program to receive credit for participating in that event asynchronously. To receive credit, the student must demonstrate the conflict and have both sought and received permission in advance of the event (so please do not wait until the last minute). Students will be invited to attend a separate showing of the event at a later time. For more information, please contact me, Whitney Borkowksi, Program Assistant, at wborkowski at law.fsu.edu.

Her lecture, Visibility and Indivisibility in Resource Arrangements, will take place next week on Wednesday, October 21, from 3:30 - 4:30 pm over Zoom. The lecture is free and open to the public, and CLE credit will be available. Please register for the Lecture in advance using this link: https://fsu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwtdeyrpj8iH9Ar66OR1MJpzfws-wpKw1Ic. For more information about CLE credit, please contact Whitney Borkowski at wborkowski at law.fsu.edu. [Lee Fennell]Professor Fennell specializes in property, land use, and housing law, as well as state and local government law, torts, social welfare law, and public finance. She is the author of The Unbounded Home: Property Values Beyond Property Lines (Yale University Press 2009) and Slices and Lumps: Division and Aggregation in Law and Life (University of Chicago Press, 2019), as well as many articles and essays. Before joining the University of Chicago Law faculty in 2007, Professor Fennel taught at the University of Texas and the University of Illinois, and she has also held visiting positions at Yale Law School, NYU School of Law, and the University of Virginia School of Law. She received her JD magna cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center in 1990. Before teaching law, she was a Bigelow Teaching Fellow at the University of Chicago and practiced at Pettit & Martin, the State and Local Legal Center, and the Virginia School Boards Association. Visibility and Indivisibility in Resource Arrangements sheds light on dilemmas in which a valued resource only retains value if it is left undivided: Projects like highways, bridges, pipelines, and wildlife corridors exhibit indivisibilities-we need the whole thing to have anything of value. Many environmental and social goals have a similar all-or-nothing character: staying above or below a certain critical threshold can make all the difference. This talk focuses on the role of visibility in addressing resource dilemmas that have this all-or-nothing structure. I examine how two visibility-enhancing factors can help avoid catastrophic consequences and pursue desirable ones. The first involves recognizing when an indivisibility is present-that is, appreciating the vulnerability of resources to thresholds and cliff effects before it is too late. The second involves seeing how individual decisions about resources stack together to generate outcomes, which can enable people to identify and pursue focal solutions. When a resource problem suffers from poor visibility-its shape is ill-defined and contributions to addressing it are not well segmented-finding ways to clear the view can improve the prospects for cooperative solutions. Please join us on Wednesday, October 21, at 3:30 to welcome her to FSU! _________________________________________ Erin Ryan Elizabeth C. & Clyde W.

This talk focuses on the role of visibility in addressing resource dilemmas that have this all-or-nothing structure. I examine how two visibility-enhancing factors can help avoid catastrophic consequences and pursue desirable ones. The first involves recognizing when an indivisibility is present-that is, appreciating the vulnerability of resources to thresholds and cliff effects before it is too late. The second involves seeing how individual decisions about resources stack together to generate outcomes, which can enable people to identify and pursue focal solutions. When a resource problem suffers from poor visibility-its shape is ill-defined and contributions to addressing it are not well segmented-finding ways to clear the view can improve the prospects for cooperative solutions.

As part of D.C. Pro Bono Week, the D.C. Environment and Energy Associations will be hosting a public webinar to discuss opportunities for pro bono involvement in environmental and climate change initiatives. Leading experts will share the numerous aspects of pro bono work and the many ways to become involved. Pro bono work can range from litigation (citizen suits and petitions for rulemaking) to advocacy (testifying, letter writing, and lobbying) to hands-on non-legal volunteer opportunities. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask panelists questions during a Q&A session. Panelists: * Ariel Solaski, Litigation Staff Attorney, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Moderator * Scott W.
