This clinic exposes students to the complexity of environmental law, with a focus on pollution, land use, and environmental justice. The Clinic represents and works with citizens, non-profit organizations and community organizations. The Clinic is an appropriate choice for students interested in administrative law, legislation, and broad level policy. Occasionally, the clinic works on litigation matters, when environmental administrative or legal liability decisions are heard by administrative tribunals or reviewed by courts. Depending on the Clinic’s docket, student attorneys may prepare comments on proposed regulatory decisions and pollution permits, participate in client counseling meetings, draft advocacy letters to government agencies, provide research support to co-counsel in litigation, and write memos on complex environmental issues.
