Experiential Learning

Conservation Clinic

The Conservation Clinic offers students the opportunity to learn and gain valuable experience while working on compelling conservation challenges. Under the supervision of Director Tom Ankersen, law and graduate students work in teams for clients such as not-for-profit organizations, community organizations, state and local governments, and even international organizations.  Students learn to work within interdisciplinary teams to achieve results that require a collaborative effort.  Issue-oriented field trips are a staple of the clinic semester.
