授業のねらいとカリキュラム上の位置付け（一般学修目標）／Course Objectives

教育目標／Educational Goals

This course helps students to understand the mechanisms of the legal system covering modern environmental problems by
examining important environmental precedents in the U.S.A. as well as the process of formulating and implementing laws
for each specific problem.
The reason for taking up U.S. environmental precedents is that the separation of powers has been established in theUnited States, and the judiciary often determines the constitutionality or lawfulness of legislative or administrativepolicies. This judicial decision‑making role confirms that environmental standards have been established and amended(Setting the Baseline for Environmental Law, Refining the Baseline, & Setting the Limits); consequently, we can evaluatelegislation, its operation (enforcement), and related judicial structures in a multifaceted manner.
達成目標／Course Goals
・Understanding the style and composition of scientific papers and becoming accustomed to the typical usage of technicalterms in English.
・Understanding the context of U.S. judicial decisions and learning how to read environmental precedents.
・Examining the background of the U.S. environmental protection system and operation and obtaining the proper perspective
for analyzing actual environmental legislation and practices.
・Reading and clearly understanding the viewpoints behind the establishment of environmental standards and theiramendments (Setting the Baseline for Environmental Law, Refining the Baseline, & Setting the Limits) as expressed in
judicial decisions that set environmental precedents.
