Law, Ideology, and Science in Energy Project Finance Short Course

1 credits · Law School

From the Biden administration’s green agenda to the Trump administration's deregulation agenda, this course will examine how project finance and regulatory lawyers are navigating the legal playing field during the massive ideological shifts underway in the world of energy and the environment. The course will cover the constitutional limits on executive power to enact such shifts without Congressional action, the critical role of science in the rule making process, and how these factors affect energy-related project finance transactions. The course will also discuss the overturning of Chevron in Loper Bright and identify the key legal issues to watch in the next few years as ideological shifts in energy and environmental law continue to unfold. This course will include several guest speakers, an interactive format, and real-world factual simulations. Pass/Fail. Enrollment limited. [1]
