Meet the students of the 2016-2017 Earthrise Class. They are already hard at work on cases involving a methanol pipeline, a timber sale in central Oregon and several water quality cases.
Five of these students worked at the Earthrise Law Center over the summer as part of our Tomorrow’s Advocates program so they had a good head start on the work they’ll be doing over the course of the academic year.
Earthrise Law Center is located in Wood Hall on the Law Campus. MSC: 51
Earthrise is supporting a lawsuit to protect sequoia regeneration in California’s Nelder Grove, challenging the Forest Service’s attempt to bypass environmental review for emergency logging. Recent developments paused logging on over 700 acres, but legal questions remain as the case moves forward.
