Distinguished Graduates
Thousands of graduates of Lewis & Clark Law School are practicing in the environmental, natural resources, and energy law fields around the world. Among them are mediators, law professors, corporate counsel, nonprofit litigators, and government officials. A number of graduates have developed innovative non-traditional environmental careers, using their law degrees in policy work.
The law school annually awards two or three of its many outstanding alumni for the Distinguished Environmental Law Graduate award, which recognizes significant contributions to the environmental and natural resources law field.
