UNT Mean Green Meets Green Rush Opportunity: Creating New Legal Disciplines Among Other New Career Possibilities For Students Interested In Burgeoning Cannabis Industry

San Diego, CA - March 28, 2017 - Hemp Educate America Foundation (HEA)

The evolving body of law surrounding cannabis is rapidly changing and becoming ever more complex. The federal government has one set of laws, and each state has yet another. Those states that have legalized cannabis struggle with different counties and municipalities that set yet again different laws and regulations.

Legal specialties exist for all types of crimes from violent to white collar, and all sorts of insurance complaints from injury to fraud. Some lawyers specialize in oil securities and others in international contracts. The field of cannabis related law has until recently been fairly cut and dry, but no longer. Cannabis law is growing, evolving and multiplying and opening up an entirely new legal area of expertise that will require a huge amount of attention from pioneering lawyers.

Pre-law and law school students have an entirely new and wide open field of legal practice that is only going to get bigger between now and the time they graduate. Lawyers pursing the emerging legal cannabis industry will play a vital role in ensuring that the great green revolution develops ethically and along legally compliant lines.

The Need for Legal Innovations

According to Eric Berlin, a partner at Jones Day, there has been a significant shift in approach and attitude from “how not to get arrested’” to ‘”how to do it legally.” This paradigm shift requires a legal strategy shift. More and more legislators are recognizing the medical benefits of cannabis and the popular demand for recreational use, and exploring new legal frameworks to transition from criminal code to civil, and from civil to outright legalization.

Observing the transitions already in progress and the mounting pressure on legislators, leading global law firms have established legal support desks with special law attorneys and advisors to provide expert counseling and consultancy to the entrepreneurs and aspirants seeking to venture into the cannabis industry. Such law firm specialization will only expand form here.

Millennial Law Students: Ideal Candidates For Law Firms Expanding Cannabis Practice

The cannabis lifestyle is second nature within the millennial culture. That’s not to say all millennials use cannabis, but most millennials are familiar with social cannabis use the way their parents are familiar with [adult beverages] at dinner parties. The cultural cannabis knowledge that millennials bring to the growing number of professional positions within the expanding cannabis industry will be invaluable to cannabis enterprises, to include those law firms building cannabis practices.

UNT Mean Green Meets Green Rush

HEA has watched and admired the launch, growth and ongoing mainstream establishment of the University of North Texas Dallas Law School.
