Emily Collins Speaks at the 2013 Public Interest Environmental Law Conference

Professor Emily Collins presented on a panel at the 2013 Public Interest Environmental Law Conference in Eugene, Oregon on Friday, March 1.  Her talk was “The State of Environmental Legal Services: Using Existing Law to Meet Current Needs.”  The presentation posited that a large gap exists in legal services to middle-income clients in the environmental field. Professor Collins described the challenge faced by environmental lawyers -- to create business models to serve those clients -- as one that law schools and recent graduates should address.
