The Environmental Justice, Human Rights and Public Health Legal Theory and Practice Seminar is taught by a joint faculty team from the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law - Professors Robert Percival, Peter Danchin, and Diane Hoffmann - and University of Malawi’s Chancellor College Faculty of Law, Professor Chikosa Banda. The course is taught synchronously in the “Collaborative Online International Learning” (COIL) format, via an online platform, so that students in Baltimore and Zomba learn together from professors at both law schools. The Seminar provides students, an equal number from each school, with a scholarly background in environmental, public health and human rights law in the two countries and allows them to apply those concepts to an actual case, thereby creating a cohort of future attorneys trained to work with international partners to seek solutions to environmental harms.
