Emmett Environmental Law & Policy Clinic<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Under the leadership of Director and Clinical Professor Wendy B. Jacobs, the Emmett Environmental Law and Policy Clinic offers students an opportunity to do hands-on, meaningful, real-life and real-time environmental legal and policy work.<\/p>\n

Clinic offerings include local, national and international projects covering the spectrum of environmental issues.\u00a0 Students may work off-campus with government agencies and nonprofit organizations, or they may work on-campus on cutting edge projects and case work under the supervision of Director Jacobs, Senior Clinical Instructor Shaun Goho, and Clinical Instructor Aladdine Joroff.<\/p>\n

Policy Initiative<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The ELP Policy Initiative promotes\u00a0ELP\u2019s influence in policy discussions about environmental, climate, and energy issues.\u00a0 The Policy Initiative offers robust legal analysis and practical governance solutions that will move these discussions forward.<\/p>\n

We identify environmental laws that underperform or need to adapt. \u00a0We apply rigorous legal analysis to identify shortcomings and opportunities for change. \u00a0Then, in partnership with experts from other sectors, we propose new and improved ways to achieve greater environmental protection.<\/p>\n

We base our recommendations on rigorous academic research, but translate this research into straightforward, policy-relevant products, including training manuals, workshops, legislative and regulatory text, podcasts, and consulting services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
