The Conservation Law Clinic is an opportunity for second- and third-year law students to serve as interns in the Conservation Law Center, Inc. a public interest law firm, and work on actual matters for clients who need assistance with natural resource conservation issues.
"Heck, yes, I am planning to enroll in the spring CLC clinic! This has been the absolute highlight of my semester. Between all the challenges of the 2L year and the world around us feeling very unsteady beneath my feet, I've relied on my CLC peers and meetings to motivate me. It was perfect timing to have as my last class of each week our CLC seminar, reminding me why I'm even in law school to begin with! Even without the seminar portion, I'm super excited to continue building relationships with my environmentalist peers and working on interesting projects."
—Olivia C. Floren Stevens, ’22
The Clinic's clients include a variety of non-profit conservation organizations and governmental bodies. Clinic matters have included work on protecting the Great Lakes, drafting conservation easements, and developing new legal protections for migration. The Conservation Law Center is fervent about its causes, and the Center's clients are impressed by and appreciative of students' work.
In the Clinic, you'll collaborate with the Center's staff attorneys and clinic to resolve organization and incorporation problems, draft model legislation, and advocate conservation of wildlife, ecological systems, and protected areas.
The clinic complements Indiana Law’s acclaimed environmental law program and works in partnership with the IU School of Public and Environmental Affairs.
Participating in the CLC has many benefits that will help you prepare for practice in administrative and public law. Here are just a few:
