Journals Duke Environmental Law and Policy Forum is an interdisciplinary magazine that is published twice yearly by students from the Law School, Nicholas School of the Environment, and Sanford Institute of Public Policy. The Forum includes legal and policy analyses of environmental topics and is targeted to academics, economists, policy makers, and legal practitioners. The Alaska Law Review is also published at Duke Law. The Review focuses on cutting edge legal issues in the areas of natural resource law, environmental law, land use planning, economic development, state-federal relations, and Native American Rights. Its goals are to enhance legal education through the creation of a vital environmental law program at the Law School and to explore summer internships and career opportunities in environmental law in both the public and private sectors.
Membership is open to all interested students.
Whether you seek to practice environmental law at one of the nation's largest law firms or to protect the nation's resources through employment with a state or federal agency, your Duke Law School degree will provide you with the tools needed to succeed as an environmental attorney. With an active Environmental Law Society and two journals addressing environmental issues, students at Duke will find the opportunity for vibrant networking with both upper-class students and alumni. Duke alumni working in this exciting field include the founder of the Center for International Environmental Law, as well as a host of attorneys working for federal agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency. Students likewise enjoy fascinating environmental employment with summer internships at such places as the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Earthjustice Ocean Law Project. The Law School and the Nicholas School of the Environment have established two different joint degree programs for students interested in environmental law.
