ELS enhances the law school experience by providing opportunities for students to explore issues related to environmental law in a variety of settings. ELS also aims to enrich the law school and university environment by sponsoring various opportunities for students with an interest in the intersection between the environment and law.ELS may pursue any activity that the ELS Executive Board deems relevant and beneficial to our mission, so long as such activity is not prohibited by policies of the University of Michigan (UM) and the University of Michigan Law School (UMLS). In the past, among other activities ELS has hosted speakers on topics relevant to our mission, arranged activities that concern or address issues of the environment and the law, offered law students with these interests an opportunity to socialize and network, sponsored various academic and professional opportunities for law students interested in environmental law, and provided information about post-law school employment in the environmental field.
