Through the Environmental Law Practicum, J.D. students receive credit for completing environmental law-related legal projects for a Boston-based environmental law organization. Projects will vary in scope and content based on student interest and the needs of the partnering organization. Students will work on environmental law projects on behalf of the Conservation Law Foundation and Alternatives for Community and Environment. Project topics will include clean energy, clean water, and environmental justice, which concerns the intersection of civil rights, fundamental fairness, and environmental policy. Students may also have the opportunity to work on litigation-related matters. Throughout the semester, students will work both under the supervision of an attorney at the partner organization and under the supervision of Professor Pam Hill. Practicum students must attend six class meetings with Professor Hill. Depending on the nature of the project and as determined at the outset of the semester, students will receive either 1 or 2 graded credits. Each credit requires students to spend a minimum fifty hours on practicum work during the semester. This class is restricted to students who have applied to and been accepted into the Practicum. NOTE: This class satisfies the Upper-class Professional Skills requirement.
