The Western Resources Legal Center (WRLC) offers a litigation practicum to L&C law students with hands-on legal training on behalf of natural resource users. This past year, students worked on a wide variety of projects, including a Supreme Court amicus brief, on the boundaries of executive authority under the Antiquities Act. Laura Kentnesse ’24 helped draft a Ninth Circuit brief addressing management of expanding populations of Tule elk on the Point Reyes National Seashore. At the AALA Agricultural Law Educational Symposium Amy Sisk ’25 presented a report on key legal trends affecting agriculture. Elliad Dagan ’24 participated in a mediation with WRLC clients regarding with property and water rights-related issues, including a matter before the Oregon Water Resources Department.
