Offers students the real world experience of representing people who otherwise could not afford to enforce their rights under state and federal environmental laws. Having now operated for nearly 16 full academic years, the Clinic is part of a first tier environmental law program and has become Louisiana_s premier public interest environmental legal services organization. On behalf of their clients, Clinic student and supervising attorneys litigate environmental _citizen suits_ to abate industrial pollution, appeal permits for environmental pollution or destruction of wetlands, challenge agency regulations that fall short of legislative mandates, and prod agencies to perform statutory duties.
