Environmental Law newsletter hits the web

Duke Environmental Law newsletter coverLaunched in October, the online Duke Environmental Law newsletter offers news on the environmental activities at Duke Law, interdisciplinary initiatives across the campus, student activities, and profiles on Duke Law alumni who have made their mark in the field. To be published each semester, the newsletter is also sent electronically to interested alumni.

“Given the Law School’s size, there is a remarkable number of alums doing important work in the environmental field,” observes Professor Jim Salzman, who collaborated on the newsletter with Professors Christopher Schroeder and Jonathan Wiener. “We decided that we wanted to stay in closer touch with them, and want them to know of the exciting work that’s going on here. The [$70 million] Nicholas gift towards environmental research at Duke University has provided enormous opportunities.”

Salzman and his colleagues are also working to develop the Duke Law Environmental Network, to better link alumni in the environmental law and policy fields in their regions, and to facilitate contact with students who are interested in entering that field of practice.
