The People

Faculty and staff

Faculty and staff interest in environmental and natural resources law runs deep. Beyond their excellent academic credentials, the faculty and staff have substantial experience in a variety of environmental practices - government, private firm, and non-profit - which adds depth and creative energy to their teaching and scholarship.

Scholars

Campus life is also enriched by the presence of environmental visitors. Each year, a Natural Resources Law Institute Distinguished Environmental Visitor, drawn from the scholarly luminaries of the field, visits campus to share his or her area of expertise with Lewis & Clark law students. Lewis & Clark also annually funds a resident Distinguished Environmental Scholar who researches a cutting-edge issue and serves as a resource for students. The law school also welcomes environmental law professors from other countries as Visiting International Scholars to research U.S. environmental law.

Students of diverse backgrounds come here from all over the United States and the world, united in the desire to learn environmental and natural resources law. As a result, Lewis & Clark features more active, engaged student environmental law groups, with a variety of perspectives, than any other law campus in the nation.
