Natural Resources and Environmental Law

The Northwest is rich in natural resources, and issues involving natural resources have figured prominently in Idaho’s legal history. Moscow’s location – combined with the University of Idaho’s nationally recognized natural resource academic and research programs – make this an ideal place to study environmental and natural resource law.

In 2008 faculty and law developed a new emphasis in Natural Resources and Environmental Law, allowing you to earn a designation on your diploma upon completion of at least 15 hours of designated course work in the area and a major writing assignment.

The location of the law school on the campus of a major university known for its research and outreach in natural resource and environmental fields has made possible the development of concurrent degree options in Water Resources and in Environmental Science.  These programs expose students to the interface among law, science, policy, engineering and social science and allow students to take courses and do research outside the law school while concurrently pursuing a J.D.  Concurrency builds in efficiencies that allow students to complete a JD/MS in four years and a JD/PhD in six years.
