Environmental Clinic: PEAC

Environmental Clinic: PEAC I

Description:

Students work on actual environmental cases and administrative issues under the supervision of the clinical professors of the Pacific Environmental Advocacy Center, the law school's environmental litigation clinic. The clinic represents a broad spectrum of environmental organizations seeking to prevent or reduce pollution and protect wildlife, habitat, and ecosystems. Except in special circumstances, this is a full year course (three credits per semester). Each week, students are expected to attend and participate in a 2-hour classroom component, meet with a supervising attorney at least an hour, as well as work 8-10 hours outside of class on average each week on cases as assigned. Grading is on a pass/no pass basis, meaning a student must earn the equivalent of a "C" or better to pass. Students must take the following courses prior to, or concurrent with, working with PEAC: Environmental Law, Administrative Law, Environmental Litigation.

A student must have permission to register for this course. To do so, students should submit an application for admission to the course (available on the Registrar’s or PEAC's websites) no later than May 22, 2008. Students will receive notification as to whether they may register for the course no later than June 2, 2008. If the course is oversubscribed, preference will be based on interest and year in school.
