The energy industry is heavily regulated yet energy law is a rapidly changing field. The goal of this course is to provide an overview of energy law by examining selected topics in the law of extraction, generation, and distribution of energy resources in the electric, natural gas, and oil industries. This course does not address the transportation industry. This course concentrates on the role of state and federal agencies, the balance between regulation and competition, and the transition to renewable energy. Taking Administrative Law prior to this course is recommended, but not required. Online asynchronous course. Students may take up to 41 credits under the 83-credit requirement (43 under the 86-credit requirement) toward their J.D. degree through courses that are designated "distance education courses." A distance education course is one in which students are separated from all faculty members for more than one-third of the instruction and the instruction involves the use of technology to support regular and substantive interaction between the students and all faculty members, either synchronously or asynchronously.
