Environmental & Land Use Law Florida’s sensitive, varied and
beautiful natural environment makes the University of Florida a
natural choice for students who want to focus on the national
and global issues of land use and environmental law. Florida
provides a perfect setting to study first-hand the efforts to
reconcile growth and conservation. The Environmental and Land
Use Law Program educates future lawyers through 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, toxic and
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.
