Founded in 1985, the Clark Fork Coalition is dedicated to protecting and restoring
the Clark Fork River basin, a 22,000-square-mile area draining western Montana
and northern Idaho. Our methods are science-based and results-oriented, with
an emphasis on public education through energetic outreach at the community
level. This approach puts people in touch with the Clark Fork River and
the cause for a healthy watershed, and it has made the Coalition a trusted
and respected voice for the rivers and communities in the basin. Under
the supervision of Legal Director, Barbara Hall, clinical students will gain
real-world experience working in a conservation non-profit setting as part
of a team to advance overall advocacy strategies for protecting and restoring
the Clark Fork watershed. The clinical experience will primarily be focused
around various aspects of Montana water law, with emphasis on the quickly evolving
field of streamflow restoration. Activities will include drafting water
lease agreements and preparing water right change applications; drafting legislation
and rulemakings; identifying and advancing policy priorities at the local,
state and federal levels; researching emerging legal issues; and strategic
litigation.
