Teaching Climate/Energy Law & Policy

Something that can make for a good class is a debate. Here are two articles with different views on the sentencing of Tim DeChristopher (who bid on oil and gas leases as a form of protest):

• DeChristopher’s Sentence Warranted

This case, and the issues it raises, might make for a good starting point for discussion.
