The University at Buffalo School of Law’s Environmental Advocacy Clinic addresses local, state, national, and global environmental issues, with student lawyers taking lead roles alongside clients and experts on impactful matters.
In the Environmental Advocacy Clinic, student attorneys take the lead on cutting-edge environmental law and policy matters—locally in Western New York and across the state, nation, and world. The work can be fast-paced, meaningful, and sometimes groundbreaking. Under Professor Connolly’s supervision, students collaborate directly with clients, communities, and key stakeholders, gaining hands-on experience tackling urgent environmental challenges with real impact. This clinic earns four-credit hours (for returning students, a different credit hour allocation can be requested).
