The Environmental Law and Policy Program sponsors a series of public lectures in environmental law. Visiting speakers are in residence at Berkeley Law for three to five days, and allocate significant office time during their stay to meet with students on an individual basis. Working in cooperation with the Environmental Law Society, a Berkeley Law student group, the Institute seeks to enrich the opportunities for students and others in the UC Berkeley community in the field of environmental law and policy.
