The History of ELQ (cont...)  

Lack of money threatened to close down ELQ several times during the journal's early years. Marc Mihaly, the fourth Editor in Chief of ELQ and later a founding partner of the environmental firm Shute, Mihaly, and Weinberger, secured grants of $15,000 from the University of California and $50,000 from the Ford Foundation. Other eminent Editors in Chief include former Boalt Dean John Dwyer '80 and Boalt professor David Caron '83. 

World recognition of ELQ's accomplishments came in June 1990, when the journal was awarded the Global 500 award from the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP). ELQ was the only law journal to be so honored. This tribute to ELQ was earned by the efforts of all of our members for the past twenty-five years, and we hope that in the future ELQ will continue to uphold the highest standards of legal scholarship and environmental awareness.
