The Environmental Law Writing Seminar is designed for students who are keenly interested in environmental, land use, natural resources law, or energy law, and want to contribute to legal scholarship. It offers an opportunity to produce papers dealing with important opinions and other developments in the field for potential inclusion in the Ecology Law Quarterly’s Annual Review of Environmental and Natural Resource Law. Students will work in the fall on developing a paper for submission to ELQ, and in the spring on refining that paper. Students will improve their writing and research skills while helping to shape the development of the law. J.D. students will bid for topics chosen by the instructor. LLM students will choose their own topic, in consultation with the instructor. Students must have previously taken or be concurrently enrolled in Environmental Law and Policy.
Students interested in the course must apply for admission. Applications will be available through the Center for Law, Energy, and the Environment. The direct links can also be accessed here for J.D. students (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qW83ErPq_ePOsXTTV9dR1rXTV3pg1pqQnrYgLb0xRJ8/edit?usp=sharing) and here for LLM students (https://docs.google.com/document/d/14nX_olTjVz4j_JB2LH-2_P_HSp6mhphOMArxiL3VJ8M/edit?tab=t.0).
Because this class provides papers for ELQ’s Annual Review, once J.D. students bid on a topic, they may not drop the course, and must complete their paper. Students whose papers are accepted for publication for ELQ following the end of the fall semester must enroll in the spring semester Writing Seminar.
J.D. applications will be due April 11. Students will be notified by April 21 if they have been admitted to the course. LLM applications will be due July 15, with a response by August 1. After these deadlines pass, late applications will be considered on a rolling basis as space permits.
