The Virginia Environmental Law Journal (Bluebook abbreviation: Va. Envtl. L.J.) is a law review edited by students at the University of Virginia School of Law. The journal covers research and discussion in the areas of environmental and natural resource law, on a broad array of topics from environmental justice to corporate liability. The Journal is perennially ranked among the top five environmental law journals in the country.
Established in 1980, the Virginia Environmental Law Journal is one of the oldest journals at the University of Virginia School of Law. It is entirely student-run. The Journal is closely tied to the law school’s Program in Environmental and Land Use Law, and it provides the Law School community with a forum for discussion of current environmental issues through its publication of legal scholarship related to the topic.
The Journal publishes the works of leading scholars, practitioners, and government officials, as well as exceptional student notes.
