Legal Advice/Support for Environmental Advocacy

New England Law School's Environmental Advocacy Project brings together professors, students, and community activists to aid environmental causes through legal research, counseling, and representation. While EAP projects vary as widely as the environmental interests of the professors and students who develop them, many focus on Boston’s urban environment, allowing students to have direct contact with the environmental interests they serve.

The EAP maintains connections with several Boston-based environmental organizations and government offices and often collaborates with such organizations on projects.

A sampling of EAP projects:

*Participating in a multidisciplinary effort to phase out pesticide spraying in Boston public housing neighborhoods.
*Assisting the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs on developing the Commonwealth's natural resource damages policy.
*Representing citizens before the Massachusetts Energy Facilities Siting Board in opposition to a power plant siting in an environmental justice community.
