Environmental Law Ranks No.1

Lewis & Clark Law School's Environmental Law Program ranks No. 1 in U.S. News & World Report's 2009 annual rankings of law schools. This is the eighth time that the environmental law program has taken top honors in this field since 1997. The ranking was produced through a survey of faculty from across the country teaching in the environmental law field.

"We're thrilled to receive this honor once again," says Robert Klonoff, dean of the law school. "Our faculty and students offer the very best to the public and private sectors, as well as the judiciary, in the way of innovative environmental policies and programs to address one of the most critical and pressing issues of our time."
