Aims & Scope

The Duke Environmental Law & Policy Forum began in 1991 as an interdisciplinary magazine published annually.

Since then, the Forum has grown into a traditional environmental law journal.

DELPF has retained its interdisciplinary roots and presents scholarship that examines environmental issues by drawing on legal, scientific, economic, and public policy resources.

DELPF’s affiliations with the Nicholas School for the Environment, the Terry Sanford Institute for Public Policy, and the Law School render it uniquely positioned to adapt to the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of environmental law.

DELPF is student-run publication, with staff members from the Law School, the Nicholas School for the Environment, and the Terry Sanford Institute for Public Policy.

New journal members, both JD and non-JD, are selected based upon their writing skills, research ability, and interest in both DELPF and environmental policy.

DELPF presents an annual symposium each fall that attracts top academics, practitioners, and policy makers from across the nation.

Recent symposium topics have included The Future Environmental Agenda: Environmental Law & Policy Issues Facing the Next President and A Charged Atmosphere: The Future of U.S.

Policy on Global Warming.
