LLM and SJD Programs I 7 Environmental Law-Professional Mentoring

Professional Mentoring

Unique Practical Opportunities A key feature of the LLM program is the opportunity for students to work with leading professionals in the environmental field as part of the School of Law's Environmental Law Clinic.

Often the best legal education is a student's insightful reflection on his or her own experience. While working in the field, clinic students attend a seminar to analyze their experience and learn additional practice skills. They receive course credit that may be used to meet the LLM degree requirements.

Through the Environmental Law Clinic, Golden Gate law students have worked in government agencies, including: • US Environmental Protection Agency • California Attorney General • San Francisco City Attorney's Environmental Enforcement Department

Students have also worked with public interest organizations, Professional Mentoring Features including: Students work closely with leading environmental practitioners • Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund and gain valuable contacts and insight into environmental • Communities for a Better Environment litigation through: • San Francisco Baykeeper • The Environmental Law Clinic, which provides externship Students may also arrange externships in the private arena with opportunities in the field leading environmental practitioners representing litigants in • The on-site Environmental Law & Justice Clinic (see page 7) toxic tort cases and companies seeking compliance advice. • Small seminars taught by local practitioners • Ongoing panels, brown-bag lunches, and symposia that bring together students and environmental lawyers in small, intimate settings "Mentoring can help students strengthen their abilities and Professional Mentoring Combines the Practical and the match their talents to rewarding career paths.
