UC Law Environmental Journal

The UC Law Environmental Journal (UCLEJ) provides a student-run forum for legal and interdisciplinary scholarship on critical environmental issues across public, private, and nonprofit sectors. UCLEJ is dedicated to advancing innovative solutions to pressing environmental challenges while fostering a community of engaged scholars, practitioners, and activists. Building on its legacy as the Hastings Environmental Law Journal and West-Northwest Journal of Environmental Law and Policy, UCLEJ now embraces a broader national and international scope. UCLEJ publishes high-quality articles and essays by academics, policymakers, practicing attorneys, law students, scientists, and community groups whose work intersects with environmental law and justice. In addition to publication, UCLEJ serves the UC Law SF community by cultivating student writing, editing, and leadership, supporting collaboration with environmental professionals, and nurturing an inclusive and socially conscious space for dialogue and learning. Through these efforts, UCLEJ contributes meaningfully to the evolving field of environmental law and to the development of the next generation of environmental leaders.
