Environmental Law Society
The Environmental law Society provides many opportunities and resources for students interested in environmental law or in the environment in general. The group is devoted to making the law school more environmentally conscious, as well as helping its members pursue careers in environmental law. The group hosts guest speakers to discuss environmental law issues, works with local environmental attorneys and groups, and hosts an annual social event, "An Evening at the Oliver Winery", in which students, faculty and alumni meet at the nearby Oliver Winery to sample local wines.
The mission of the Environmental Law Society (ELS) is to: (1) enhance the Academic Experience of students interested in environmental law; (2) promote Clinical Opportunities to enable students to gain practical skills; and (3) build resources for environmental Career Development. Through our work in each of these areas, ELS promotes environmental awareness and involvement in the campus and community.
