About Us
The Environmental Law Group (ELG) is a recognized student group of the
University of Montana founded for the purpose of raising environmental
consciousness within the legal community. By educating law students today,
we create the environmentally committed attorneys of tomorrow. The ELG is
committed to a platform founded on the preservation and protection of
Montana's waters, lands, and animals. To this end, the ELG strives to make
a difference through the law.
One of the major focuses of the ELG is to provide hands-on experience
within the field of environmental law. To facilitate this goal, the group
works to secure legal research projects with local environmental
organizations. All of the legal work the ELG provides is done so free of
charge. Further, the ELG hosts speakers once a month to discuss current
environmental topics. These speakers range from local activists to
national environmental attorneys. As a group, the ELG also sponsors trips
to legal conferences, plans recreational outings, and participates in
hands-on restoration activities.
