The Clinic has been the sole public interest law firm for New Jersey's environmental community since 1985. Since the Clinic's founding, more than 500 Rutgers law students have helped successfully resolve hundreds of cases. The Clinic works with the Eastern Environmental Law Center, a public interest law firm located on Rutgers' campus in Newark, New Jersey. Students provide thousands of hours of pro bono legal assistance each year.
As a result, the Clinic has litigated many of the most important environmental cases in the State on topics as varied as land use/sprawl, transportation, clean water, clean air, environmental justice, endangered species, hazardous waste site remediation, public access to beaches and other public lands, open space, parkland preservation and energy policy. The Clinic's cases are frequently litigated before the New Jersey Appellate Division and Supreme Court, as well as Federal court, municipal planning boards, and municipal zoning boards. The Clinic also provides ongoing advice and counsel to environmental and community organizations.
