CLINICAL PROGRAMS

The J.B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Environmental Law Clinic

Faculty Supervisor: Jonathan Turley

Under faculty supervision, second-, third-, and fourth-year students represent clients in environmental litigation in both the federal and state systems. The work includes administrative, trial, or appellate actions, particularly citizen action suits, under a variety of environmental statutes such as the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the Federal Facilities Compliance Act. This clinic was established in 1995 by a generous gift from the J.B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Charitable Trust.
