The certificate program was initiated as part of the school's commitment to quality environmental legal education. The certificate is awarded upon successful completion of three core courses - Environmental Law, Environmental Practice, and Administrative Law; a substantial research paper on an environmental or natural resources topic; and 11 units of elective environmental law classes.
