"The Faculty of Law already has more strength in this area than other Canadian law schools", says Al Lucas. "What we want to do is enhance our capability through additional Faculty appointments and through collaboration with other legal scholars and with researchers in related disciplines and their institutions. We are already working with economists, regulatory specialists, and environmental scientists."

On the legal side, specific project collaboration can be developed with the Canadian Institute of Resources Law (CIRL), an independent affiliated research, education and international assistance institution located in the Law Faculty’s Murray Fraser Hall. This will build on existing cooperation in the CIRL/Alberta Civil Liberties Research Centre (ACLRC), project on Human Rights in Natural Resource Development and in CIRL’s Russian oil and gas law and policy work.

Collaboration with related disciplines includes additional work with members of the University of Calgary Faculties of Environmental Design and Social Science, and the Haskayne School of Business.
