Survey of Course Offerings in Cultural Heritage Law
The following list of course offerings in cultural heritage law is
intended to provide a primary resource for law students, those who are
thinking of attending law school, and others who are interested in
determining the extent and nature of the teaching of cultural heritage
law in law schools today. The list is based on a survey conducted by
Ryan Rowberry during the summer of 2006, “Law School Update: LCCHP Law
School Survey Report,” published in the Yearbook of Cultural Property Law
2007 (Sherry Hutt, ed. and David Tarler, assist. ed.). The methodology
and questions used in the survey are explained in more detail in this
article.
The topic areas covered in the survey are: art/entertainment law;
cultural property law; environmental law; historic preservation law;
land use law; marine/ocean resources law; museum law; Native American
and indigenous law; and natural resources law. Each entry includes — to
the extent the information is available — the title of the course; the
professor who teaches it; a web link to the professor or a course
listing; whether the course is a first-year or upper level offering;
whether it is a course or seminar, and how often it is offered. As with
a survey of this type, it is not complete, the information may change
from year to year, and it should be viewed only as a starting point. In
particular, students should not rely on the information provided in
planning their course of study. Rather, they are encouraged to contact
the individual professor or academic dean at the various law schools to
obtain more details. If you notice any errors or have information to
add, please let us know by emailing
info@culturalheritagelaw.org. We hope you find this information useful.
