So, who knows? Maybe Paleontology Law will be a legitimate practice in the legal career or a subsection in 1L’s property books years from now. Perhaps Paleontology Law clubs and societies will begin arising across the country. Many people did not assume that paleontology, statutory law, and regulatory law were intertwined. However, those willing to practice property law, especially in states like Montana or Colorado, must not ignore the extensive law behind the study of prehistoric life and the excavation of fossils and artifacts. Those who do ignore it, might risk their practice facing extinction.
