Summer Program

Join the Environmental Law Summer Session

The 2021 Session will run from

June 1 to June 18

Launched in 2005, the Summer Session provides law students and practitioners from around the world an opportunity to engage in intensive environmental law training over a three-week period. The Summer Session offers a diversity of dynamic courses taught by leading practitioners from government, business, and non-governmental organizations.

Due to the COVID-19 emergency, the programs will be offered online.

Our online classrooms allow for face-to-face collaboration with classmates and faculty in real time using a variety of features including small group break-out rooms and live chats. In addition, participants will complete self-paced, engaging coursework that you can access 24/7 on our convenient online platform.
