Naysayers had argued that climate change was just too
big a problem, too expensive to solve,
requiring as it does an
overhaul of the world's energy systems and economy.
One of the goals of the curricular
overhaul was to strengthen the
required legal analysis, writing, and research components of the curriculum.20 After discussing a number of ways to do so, the committee recommended that the
required curriculum be changed by replacing first - semester Legal Method and second - semester Introduction to Appellate Advocacy with an expanded three - semester sequence21 of courses entitled Legal Analysis, Writing, and Research (LAWR) I, II, and III.22 These expansions retained Maryland's commitment to having the first - semester course taught by full - time faculty, but a
big change in the new first - semester course, LAWR I, was that it was not joined to another first - year course.
