    Environmental Law Society Network

    Any environmental, energy, or resources-related society at a law school can join and take advantage of network member benefits.

    About the ELSN

    The ABA Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources' (SEER) Environmental Law Society Network (ELSN) brings environmental law students from schools across the U.S. together to exchange ideas, succeed professionally, and positively impact their communities. The ELSN fulfills this mission by (1) providing resources for students to start or improve environmental law societies at their schools, (2) fostering a relationship between environmental legal professionals and students, and (3) hosting national events.

    Join the ELSN

    Over 100 law schools located in more than 30 U.S. states have already joined the network. If your school's ELS is not a member, a representative of your ELS can enroll today to begin taking advantage of member benefits. If your school does not presently have an ELS, and you would like to set one up, you can still join the ELSN for guidance on how to set up a successful ELS.
