Interdisciplinary Problem Solving (Law)

Students may apply for the course using the PSI application system (https://problemsolving.law.umich.edu/) March 18 - April 1, 2019.

This class is an interdisciplinary problem solving class offered at the Law School through the Problem Solving Initiative (PSI). Some states, including California and Minnesota, reduce toxic airborne emissions and promote better health outcomes for residents by measuring the cumulative impact of hazardous air pollutants. In this class, students will determine why Michigan has failed to adopt such a cumulative impact approach. Students will incorporate ideas from environmental studies, law, health sciences, design, social work, and other fields to advance a solution that accounts for multiple, geographically-concentrated pollution sources and promotes environmental justice for all Michigan residents.

This class is open to all University of Michigan graduate and professional students. Please note: Non-Law students are responsible for checking with their own schools, colleges, or units to learn if a PSI class will count toward graduation or other departmental requirements. SOCIAL WORK students - This will count as elective credit toward the MSW.

Non-law graduate/professional students may apply for the course using the PSI application system (https://problemsolving.law.umich.edu/) March 18 - April 1, 2019. After the initial application period, students seeking to apply can contact [email protected].
