Message From the Director

Although many law schools have environmental law programs, the University of Denver Sturm College of Law’s Environmental and Natural Resources Program is one of very few that introduces students to all of the aspects of environmental and natural resources law. In addition to the offering courses in traditional areas of environmental law areas (air pollution, water pollution and hazardous waste law), the program also addresses the environmental aspects of  land use law and growth management, Indian law, mining law, oil and gas law, public land law, wildlife law, water law, and energy law.

Just as significant, we pride ourselves on providing students with opportunities for hand-on experience in the practice of environmental and natural resources law. The wonderfully supportive Denver environmental and natural resources bar, our environmental and natural resources internship program and environmental law clinic provide unparalleled opportunities for learning what environmental and natural resources attorneys actually do every day and helping students decide what they want to do with their careers.

Come and join us.
