Law and Sustainability Student Research Fellowship

The Law and Sustainability Student Research Fellowship program gives students opportunities to produce publication-quality articles on current legal and policy topics related to environmental sustainability.

Participating fellows:

  1. Research and write a full-length law review article
  2. Receive substantive feedback on their work
  3. Workshop each other’s research projects
  4. Deliver formal presentations of their articles to the law school community

Nearly 40 students have authored papers through this program since its inception, all receiving offers for publication in non-ASU legal academic journals and addressing crucial topics such as: 

  • Precision fertilizing
  • Wind and solar energy
  • Office-to-residential conversions
  • CO2 pipeline subsidies
  • Environmental justice
