The Environmental Law Clinic prepares students for their future legal and environmental advocacy work while serving the community in Michigan. The Environmental Law Clinic is a resource for citizens, community organizations, and government leaders working towards environmental protection. It gives Wayne Law students the opportunity to play a critical role in solving our region's most pressing environmental problems. Priorities and focus areas are protecting the Great Lakes and freshwater, transitioning to clean energy and curbing global warming emissions, assisting communities in achieving environmental justice, and ensuring good public process and openness in government decisions. See the coverage of the Environmental Law Clinic in the Detroit Legal News. The Great Lakes Environmental Law Center works in partnership with the Environmental Law Clinic at Wayne State University Law School. Law students work under the direct supervision of professor Nick Schroeck to learn the skills and strategies needed to affect environmental policy in state and federal government. Students participate in the lawmaking process by preparing policy papers and reports, commenting on rulemaking and permit decisions, and engaging in judicial review and enforcement litigation.
