Clinic Releases Newly Revised Edition of Their Fracking Guide

The Clinic released a newly revised edition of their fracking guide today, entitled A Landowner’s Guide to Hydraulic Fracturing: Addressing Environmental and Health Issues in Oil and Gas Leases (Revised Edition, July 2014).  This expanded version of the guide builds upon the previous edition.  In particular, it is aimed at landowners across the country and contains information relevant for property owners who are considering whether to sign a lease to allow either oil or gas extraction by hydraulic fracturing, including proposed lease language.  The guide was prepared and revised by Clinic students, including Joshua Herlands (JD’12), Humu-Annie Seini (LLM’11), Zachary Kearns (JD’14), Sarah Peterson (JD’15), and Albert Teng (JD’15), together with the Clinic’s lawyers Shaun Goho, Wendy Jacobs, and Aladdine Joroff.
