Environmental Law Journal
The Stanford Environmental Law Journal (ELJ) is run by students who are eager to explore environmental issues, improve their writing skills, and be actively involved in academic discourse. ELJ publishes articles on a variety of issues in natural resources law, environmental policy, law and economics, international environmental law, and other topics relating to law and the environment. ELJ accepts submissions from academics, practitioners, or other writers, as well as students, throughout the year. We publish in January and June.
In 1990, Environmental Law Society and Journal students actively participated in the 20th anniversary of Earth Day. Between 1991 and 1993, Stanford students circulated a semi-monthly newsletter, the Green News, which discussed pertinent local and national environmental issues.
The Society and Journal also worked with faculty and the administration to develop the Environmental and Natural Resources Law and Policy Program (ENRLP). ENRLP was formalized in 1993 and has quickly become one of the nation’s leading environmental and natural resource law curricula. Working with local environmental activists and policy makers, Society and Journal members also assisted in developing an environmental law outreach program. The program established a ?hands-on? complement to academic study of environmental law issues. The outreach program grew into the Stanford Earthjustice Environmental Law Clinic, which began taking clients in 1997. The Clinic is now part of the wider Mills Legal Clinic at Stanford Law School.
