Description:

The Environmental Law Pro Bono Project provides students an opportunity to research, analyze, and write about current issues in environmental law. The project introduces students to attorneys practicing environmental law, familiarizes them with the complex array of laws and regulations surrounding environmental issues, and exposes them to the local communities that are most often negatively impacted by those issues.
