ACOEL’s Environmental Justice (EJ) Committee was created in 2022 in response to the refreshed emphasis on environmental justice in the practice of environmental law. EJ Committee members include law school faculty, community advocates, and lawyers for regulated entities. Members of the EJ Committee are working collaboratively on content to educate, inform, and support ACOEL members who seek greater understanding of EJ and its increasing significance in the practice of environmental law. Committee members follow EJ developments that impact the practice of environmental law and coordinate with other ACOEL Committees, for example the Education Committee and Regional Committee, to deliver information to ACOEL members.
