The Turner Environmental Law Clinic provides important pro bono representation to individuals, community groups, and non-profit organizations that seek to protect and restore the natural environment and promote environmental justice. Through its work, the Clinic offers students a hands-on introduction to environmental law and trains the next generation of environmental attorneys.
The Clinic is a nationally recognize legal expert with a reputation for innovative problem solving. The funds raised will go directly to supporting the Clinic's programs and representations, which bring environmental legal education out of the classroom and into the field. Clinic students are trained in the real-world practice of law, providing free representation to clients in need, and conducting important legal work on a wide range of issues affecting the health of our environment, the future of our food and energy systems, and the wellbeing of our communities.
“My time as a student-attorney at the Turner Clinic was an invaluable part of my legal education at Emory. Not only did it provide an opportunity to get more involved in my local community and gain hands-on experience in my chosen practice area, but it also set me up for success in my job search and helped me land my dream job with the Seirra Club’s Environmental Law Program.”
