Real World Education

PEAC maximizes its impact through the work of committed law students. While PEAC’s staff retains ultimate responsibility for case prosecution, students play a vital role in PEAC by participating in all phases of the clinic’s work. Students draft pleadings and motions, formulate arguments and strategy, and participate in client contacts.

In addition to receiving invaluable hands-on experience, students earn law school credit for their work with PEAC. The environmental clinic class supplements student casework by providing additional instruction on the practice of environmental law. The class meets once per week. Class topics include informal discussions about current projects, lectures on aspects of environmental practice, and contact with local practitioners.
