Environmental Advocacy Clinic

The Environmental Advocacy Clinic is four-credit clinic (for returning students, a different credit hour allocation can be requested). The EAC works on state, national, and international environmental law and policy issues that have direct impact on Western New York, as well as national and international implications.

The work is exciting and challenging. Student attorneys work on issues such as legal aspects on the first North American transboundary designation of a wetland of international importance, and development and implementation of local sustainable and regenerative laws. Under the supervision of Professor Connolly, student attorneys coordinate directly clients and other stakeholders.
