The first volume of the Journal was published in 1980 as the Virginia Journal of Natural Resources Law.[2] 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.
Annual symposia
editThrough its annual symposia, the Journal encourages dialogue about environmental law and policy among students, professors, and the local Charlottesville community.
