Environmental Law Clinic

What is the Environmental Law Clinic?

The Environmental Law Clinic (‘ELC’) is one of multiple Law Clinics that form part of the Bond Legal Clinics Program.  The ELC is the only Law Clinic focusing on environmental matters, providing students with a unique opportunity to practically engage with this complex and dynamic area of law, and to make a positive and lasting impact on pressing environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity protection, First Nations culture and heritage, water and forestry management, urban planning, pollution and environmental mismanagement.

The ELC is run in partnership with the Environmental Defenders Office (‘EDO’).  The EDO, the largest environmental legal centre in the Australia-Pacific region, is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to protecting and defending Australia’s unique environment by providing access to justice through litigation and leading law reform advocacy. 

The Environmental Law Clinic is usually offered every semester but is subject to change.
