Problems of Third World poverty and development have come to be seen as inseparable from environmental health and sustainability. The course explores the global and interconnected character of environment and development in the less developed world. Drawing on case studies of the environmental problems of the newly industrializing states, food problems, and environmental security in Africa, and the global consequences of tropical deforestation in Amazonia and carbon dioxide emissions in China, this course explores how growth and stagnation are linked to problems of environmental sustainability.

Jurors Needed TONIGHT @Boalt
Perhaps the best way to understand the legal process is to serve as a juror.
We would like to offer the Legal Studies majors the opportunity to serve as jurors in Professor Cynthia McGuinn and Professor Rich Schoenberger’s Advanced Trial Prep classes at Berkeley Law.
The  law students will spend the next two Tuesday evenings conducting jury selection.
You would act as a prospective juror. Most of the students have extensive experience in Mock Trial competitions, but precious little in the art of picking a jury.
The classes will be held from 6:25 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. on  April 2 and April 9 in Room 170 at Boalt Hall

If interested, please reply ASAP to Professor Schoenberger at

rschoenberger@walkuplawoffice.com.
