The Natural Resources Law Institute at Lewis & Clark Law School is now accepting applications from law school faculty, graduating law students, and practitioners for its Distinguished Environmental Law Scholar position. Graduating law students and practitioners are welcome to apply for a one-year term which begins in late August. Law faculty on sabbatical may choose a one-semester or one-year term to coincide with the term of their sabbatical.
The Distinguished Environmental Law Scholar position provides the opportunity to research and write an article or other scholarly piece on a topic of your choice in the environmental or natural resources fields in an idyllic setting. The article is expected to be published in our nationally-recognized law review, Environmental Law. The Scholar also writes a short article for our newsletter, participates in the LL.M. seminar and, depending on interest and experience, may teach a seminar in the environmental/natural resources curriculum and contribute in other ways to the law school community.
Lewis & Clark Law School is located in beautiful Portland, Oregon. Our campus is in a stunning wooded setting adjacent to a state wilderness park and provides a peaceful setting for concentrated research and writing. Our diverse and talented natural resources faculty provide an opportunity for the exchange of stimulating ideas and scholarship.
The Distinguished Environmental Law Scholar receives a stipend of $25,000, plus contribution towards benefits. The Scholar will have his or her own office in the law school’s newest “green” building and access to our excellent library.
