Aims & Scope

Established in 1971, Ecology Law Quarterly is among the oldest and most prestigious journals publishing environmental law scholarship.

Publishing four issues a year, ELQ provides a forum for preeminent scholarship on groundbreaking environmental law topics, including renewable energy, environmental justice, and international environmental law.

In 2008, ELQ launched Ecology Law Currents, an online companion journal designed to publish pieces on a more frequent basis than the print journal.

Staffed by Berkeley Law students, ELQ is a community of dedicated and like-minded individuals.

True to our environmental roots, the ELQ staff embarks on two outdoor adventures each year: Yosemite in the fall, Tahoe in the spring.

In addition, ELQ strives to support the student body through writing awards, public interest summer fellowships, and a diversity scholarship.
