Stanford University organizes the Master of Laws (LLM) in Environmental Law and Policy (ELP), appropriate for private and public lawyers seeking additional interdisciplinary training that they can use to further environmental and resource law and policy in their home nations or internationally and who wish to become part of a network of graduates working on similar challenges.
LLM offers rigorous interdisciplinary training in environmental, energy and resource law and policy. The curriculum continues to enlarge every year and offers each student the opportunity to choose among a variety of exciting and informative courses relevant to the solution of environmental challenges at the local, national, and global level, such as Environmental Law and Policy, Energy Law, Water Law and Policy, International Environmental Law, or Land Use. This specialized program seeks to provide foreign lawyers with the legal and policy analysis expertise needed to address issues of pollution, toxic substances, climate change, energy, freshwater, protection of living species on both land and in the oceans, land use management, and environmental assessment.
