St.Thomas Law in The Netherlands for Annual Water Law Program

This week, St. Thomas Law Professor Keith Rizzardi and eleven law students travel to Delft, Netherlands, for our annual Netherlands Water Law Program. The week-long program runs from Monday, May 23, through Friday, May 27.

Organized in partnership with the Florida Earth Foundation (FEF), the water law course, led by Professor Rizzardi and  FEF Executive Director, Stan Bronson allows participating students to study water management as experienced in a nation situated below sea-level.

Among other opportunities, students attend lectures at the United Nations Institute for Water Education; learn about Dutch and European legislation; and gain a deeper understanding of the historic context and the magnitude of the future challenges and solutions.

Field trip destinations include the historic windmills at Kinderdijk, the Flood Disaster Museum in Zeeland, and the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
