Career Development
The faculty of the Environmental Law Program and the staff in the Career Services Office work with each student to develop an individualized environmental career plan. This individualized program often includes supervised research and practical experience through Clinic and Externship work. During the summer, students can apply for public interest law fellowships. In addition, mentoring is available with faculty, alumni and upper-level law students. Our environmental law graduates, both JD and LL.M., have a wide range of employment opportunities.
