Environmental Law & Natural Resources Law Program

Lewis & Clark Law School is an extraordinary place in which to study environmental law, natural resources law and animal law. Named the #1 environmental law program in the nation by U.S. News and World Report eight times since 1997, our academic program also was the first in the nation to receive the American Bar Association Award for Distinguished Achievement in Environmental Law. During the 2008-09 academic year we will be celebrating our 39th year of educational leadership in environmental and natural resources law.

We welcome you to explore our trail-blazing environmental law program and to visit our beautiful campus.
