Please join the Environmental and Energy Law Society at the University of Minnesota Law School as we discuss the growing number of lawsuits by local and state governments against fossil fuel companies for climate change-related damages under consumer protection, products liability, and nuisance theories, among others. These lawsuits are currently in various stages of litigation in state and federal courts. This seminar will discuss the merits of these suits as well as the viability of similar claims for climate change-related damages under Minnesota law.
