CNAIS Faculty Offers Rafting and Law Course Anonymous (not verified) Wed, 03/01/2017 - 12:08

CNAIS faculty and Raphael J. Moses Professor of Law Sarah Krakoff will be teaching a seminar focusing on the law and policy affecting the Colorado River. Krakoff's legal specialty concentrates on American Indian law, natural resources and public land law, and environmental justice. The course she offers will be meeting with several organizations aimed at advocating concerns about the river such as tribal interests, conservation protection, and endangered species.

An interactive and enticing course, The Law of the Colorado River, also takes law students on a two-week rafting experience for a significant portion of the seminar. The interdisciplinary seminar will showcase different instructors of several fields of study, such as: conservation biology, climate science, anthropology, geology, and hydrology.

“The reason I wanted to do this class and include rafting the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon is because you can trace almost every natural resource, environmental and social justice issue that affects our region—from the Rocky Mountains to California—to issues that affect the river.” -Sarah Krakoff

Funding for this seminar requires that the students reach their goal of $40,000. Take a look at their crowdfunding project.
