SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL LAW
FACULTY: ROHAN CHERIAN THOMAS
Introduction: Climate Change has become a force to reckon in the 21st century. Temperatures
have continued to rise around the globe. 2017 was one of the hottest years on record. The
crescendo for mitigation measures has also increased, but political will is lacking. The Paris
Agreement while bringing hope in the form of a transformed approach to Kyoto and introducing
Nationally Determined Contributions, saw disappointment with the United States backing out.
Pollution has reached a peak. Air pollution for instance forced cricket players off the field in
Delhi as they experienced breathing problems. Waste management, another critical area, tipped
over the edge of the abyss when a mountain of waste rolled down onto people in Ghazipur.
Medical Waste is being flushed down into gutters without undergoing proper treatment. E-waste
collection centres have not been established by State Governments. The Indian 2016 Waste
Management Rules look too good to be true at the moment.
Forest Protection and the concurrent rights of Forest Dwellers saw a change with the Indian
Government finally removing bamboo from the meaning of trees under the Forest Act. Though a
much needed move, its effect remains to be soon considering the nature of the Forest Rights Act
being in contradiction with other Acts such as the Wildlife Protection Act and that the State
Governments have their own rules concerning forests.
The issues stated above are but the tip of the iceberg concerning Environmental Law. A field
which is hugely interdisciplinary but holds on its own, it needs thorough and passionate study to
understand the dire situation our Environment is in and the tools we need to bring change. The
course seeks to analyse and study the various aspects of International and Indian Environmental
Law, its interplay, consequent enforcements and future course of actions.

SUBJECT: INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW
Introduction: This course is designed to introduce the student to the legal system governing
international economic transactions and international economic relations, particularly centered
on the World Trade Organisation, the most significant institution for international trade relations
and its annexed treaties. The course encourages an understanding of the system through the study
of original materials in a systematic way, designed for students who may practice in the subject
area (either in private firms or government positions), or for students who would like to have an
understanding of the system for personal, scholarly, or for leadership reasons.
Since last three to four decades, liberalization, privatization and globalization of national
economies have become a worldwide phenomenon. With the growing economic interdependence
of the world, understanding this system is increasingly becoming more important. This
interdependence has resulted in an unprecedented growth in the volume of international trade
and cross-border economic exchanges. Until recently, international trade was regulated by
disparate legal regimes, but with the establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO),
international trade in all its conceivable dimensions is sought to be regulated by the unified and
global legal regime instituted by the WTO. This legal regime administers the trade agreements
negotiated by its Members, in particular the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT),
the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) and Agreement on Trade Related Aspects
of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). The underlying philosophy of the WTO is that open
markets and non- discrimination are conducive to the national welfare of all countries. The
raison d‟etre of the WTO is to reduce both their own trade barriers and those of the foreign
markets. Its primary functions are to be a focal point for the negotiations of binding agreements
to reduce trade barriers and agree on disciplines for policies affecting international trade and to
provide a mechanism though which WTO Members can enforce these negotiated commitments.
At the same time, a number of international agencies and conventions, uniform law, model laws,
legal guidelines aimed at the eventual unification and harmonization of disparate national laws
and practices in the field of international trade. As a result, this area has become so sophisticated
and specialized that at times even business executives and their in-house counsels find
themselves at their wits‟ end in coping with the legal complexities raised by international
business transactions.
The principal objective of the course is to provide students with a good grounding in the
fundamental concepts, procedures and practice followed by the World Trade
Organisations with some experience in particular details. The interface between WTO
11
and RTAs will also be examined. The aim of the course is to appreciate the complexity of
WTO in historical context as well.
To analyze the interdependence between Contracting Parties to WTO & WIPO by
imparting comprehensive knowledge regarding Intellectual Property Rights in the areas
of Patents, Copyrights, Trademarks, Designs and Geographical Indications including
Plant Varieties, Biological Diversity and Inventions relating to Information Technology.
Understanding the coterminous relationship between trade exigencies under WTO and
environmental imperatives and impacts and outcomes thereof upon climate matrix.
Responding to Theoretical, Doctrinal, Textual or Empirical Questions relating to trade in
services in the background of developments in the field of International Law relating to
Trade and Services.
To understand the conceptual, theoretical and political foundations of WTO dispute
settlement- specifically, from a developing country perspective. The objective is to churn
out the judicial process and the procedural fair-play, including the effectiveness (or lack
thereof) of remedies available under WTO settlement mechanism, specifically keeping in
mind the needs and its impact on developing countries.

engagement with ideas around gender, caste, sexuality, religion and family. These ideas will be
the lens through which we look at the various laws.
Teaching Methodology:
Everyone has to come prepared for class after having read the assigned reading. The classroom
will be a space for critical reflections on the cases and material circulated. Coming unprepared
for class will impact the effectiveness of the classroom engagement. You will be called out to
respond to the readings assigned beforehand. The methodology will be primarily doctrinal with a
focus on case laws and statutes. However, we will take recourse to interdisciplinary tools to
understand concerns that are not adequately addressed by the doctrinal approach.
21
Classroom Policy:
Active participation in the classroom is encouraged. You are required to come prepared for every
class. Each of your work should show a commitment to academic integrity. Plagiarism of any

ECONOMICS III
THEORIES OF DEVELOPMENT AND INDIAN ECONOMY
FACULTY - Dr. KRANTI KAPOOR
Objectives: This course has been introduced with an aim to enlarge the vision of the students of
law regarding the changes in the international arena, more especially in the post liberalized and
post globalized times. It also provides an insight into examining the problems of economic
growth and development in the less developed countries and analyzing the causes of growth in
such parts of the world. It is an attempt to enable the students of the law course to understand the
conditions conducive to economic growth and also its deterrents. This would not only facilitate
their knowledge of the contemporary issues of Indian economy but would also help in a better
understanding of the economic implications of the alternative development strategies and
policies. An effective planning and an appropriate policy framework required for development
and growth of Indian economy can be worked out only after a comprehensive knowledge of the
conditions and limitations of the economic system.
