The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Law Clinic provides students with the opportunity to apply the skills they develop in the class to the real-life situations met daily by this Missoula-based international conservation organization. There are opportunities to participate in many aspects of non-profit corporate law, which includes areas such as: employment law, real estate law, conservation easement issues, charitable contributions, planned giving and tax issues, individual state gaming compliance and tax issues, trademark law, copyright law, water law, and various types of contracts (sales, personal service, consultants, Internet, etc.). Interns are asked to provide the organization with accurate assistance in the following areas: document preparation, legal and factual research, correspondence and pleadings, legal analysis and problem resolution, work product deadline control methods, and timely completion of assignments. The RMEF Law Clinic will enable students to apply these skills while working with in-house counsel, in a supportive, non-confrontational setting.
The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is a non-profit, conservation organization whose mission is to conserve and protect habitat for elk and other wildlife. RMEF has a membership of over 124,000 through more than 450 chapters in the United States and Canada. The Elk Foundation has generated $70 million for habitat conservation, and have conserved and enhanced nearly 3 million acres, including over 730,000 acres of land acquisitions and nearly 60,000 acres of conservation easements, and completed more than 2,800 conservation projects in 47 states and 8 provinces.
