S.C. environmental expert addresses Stanford Law School audience
March 1, 2015
CAMDEN, SC – Environmental expert Tom Mullikin – a professor of Marine Science at Coastal Carolina University and environmental attorney – discussed the global nature of climate change and recent related international developments in a lecture before Stanford Law School’s Environmental Law and Policy Colloquium, Feb. 24, 2015.
Sharing with the audience knowledge gleaned from years of intensive environmental research based on myriad fact-finding and exploratory expeditions to the world’s most fragile eco-systems, Mullikin’s lecture included a review of the history of global climate change as well as a discussion and explanation of both the necessity and ability of global business and industry to obtain concurrent economic and environmental sustainability. “When companies realize that they can reduce their environmental footprint, decrease costs and increase profits, they are able to fully embrace and advance aggressive environmental stewardship,” Mullikin said.
The multinational class of Stanford Law students (from China, India, Chili, Colombia, Korea, and Australia among others) participated in a post-lecture Q&A, posing a number of engaging and probing questions as regards Mullikin’s vast global environmental work.
The Environmental Law & Policy Colloquium offers LLM (Master of Laws) students the opportunity to discuss cutting-edge legal topics related to, among others, the environment, natural resources management, or energy policy.
Established in 1893, Stanford Law School is located near in Palo Alto, CA. The school is “regularly ranked among the top three law schools in the U.S.” by U.S. News & World Report. The other two top-ranked schools are Harvard Law and Yale Law.
Mullikin is founding pres. of both the Mullikin Law Firm and Global Eco Adventures in Camden, S.C.
