The Environmental Protection Clinic is an interdisciplinary clinic that addresses environmental law and policy problems on behalf of client organizations such as environmental groups, government agencies, and international bodies.

It offers 3 credits to students who engage with actual environmental law or policy problems on behalf of client organizations (environmental groups, government agencies, international bodies, etc.). The class meets weekly and students work eight to ten hours per week in interdisciplinary groups (with students from the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies and other departments or schools at Yale) on projects with a specific legal or policy product to be produced by the end of the term.
