DISTINGUISHED ENVIRONMENTAL LAW SCHOLAR 2007-08
Natural Resources Law Institute
Applications Now Being Accepted for 2008-09

The Natural Resources Law Institute at Lewis & Clark Law School is now accepting applications from graduating law students, practitioners, and law school faculty for its Distinguished Environmental Law Scholar position. Graduating law students and practitioners are welcome to apply for a one-year term which begins in late August. Law faculty on sabbatical may choose a one-semester or one-year term to coincide with the timing of their sabbatical.
The Distinguished Environmental Law Scholar researches and writes at least one article or other scholarly piece on topics of his/her choice in the environmental or natural resources fields. We anticipate publishing the article in our nationally-recognized law review, Environmental Law. The Scholar also writes a short article for our newsletter, participates in the LL.M. seminar and, depending on interest and experience, may teach a seminar in the environmental/natural resources curriculum and contribute in other ways to the law school community.
Lewis & Clark Law School is located in Portland, Oregon, in a stunning wooded setting adjacent to a state wilderness park. The campus is an ideal setting for concentrated research and writing. Our diverse and talented natural resources faculty provide an opportunity for the exchange of stimulating ideas and scholarship.
The Distinguished Environmental Law Scholar receives a stipend of $25,000, plus generous employer contribution towards benefits. The Scholar will have his or her own office in the law school’s beautiful “green” building and access to our excellent library.
