Second Point of Distinction
Water Law and Policy Initiative
A brief description of the second program/initiative/accomplishment:
Marquette University Law School launched a new curriculum in water law in the fall of 2009. In 2015, the Law School launched an expanded Water Law and Policy Initiative which will seek to establish the Law School and, more broadly, Marquette University as a center for study, exploration, discussion, and education concerning water issues. The curriculum and the Initiative provide concrete evidence of the Law School's commitment to solidifying Milwaukee as a global leader in water research and policy and provide a context to address the ongoing and emerging legal issues posed by the water industry.
The Law School water law curriculum includes a course specializing in the legal principles involved in securing, allocating, transferring, managing and adjudicating water rights for public and private uses. Another innovative course combines aspects of water law, water technology and business, and intellectual property. The curriculum also includes courses on administrative law, patent and trade secret law, environmental policy and philosophy, land use planning, and natural resources law, among others.
