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.
