The LL.M. program adopts an innovative approach that combines
the study of land use law with environmental law. Many
environmental problems result from inappropriate uses of land. Air
and water pollution, disposal and clean-up of hazardous waste,
endangered species protection and balancing public health and
environmental values against the protection of private property
interests are challenges that face every community. Issues such as
climate change and fresh water shortages are environmental
problems with significant land use dimensions.
The program also capitalizes on the many outstanding programs at
the University of Florida in disciplines related to environmental and
land use law practice, including wildlife ecology, environmental
engineering, urban and regional planning, and interdisciplinary
ecology. The UF LL.M. program is unique in requiring that 6 of the
26 required credit hours must be from relevant courses that have
substantial non-law content and are offered outside the law school
or jointly by the law school and another department. In addition to
completing required coursework, LL.M. candidates must complete a
written project in connection with a seminar or the Conservation
Clinic.
