Turner Environmental Clinic

Turner Environmental Law Clinic. Prerequisite: All 1st-year full time courses including Torts and Civil Procedure. Preferred but not required: Law 7200. The Turner Clinic handles a wide variety of environmental legal matters brought to the clinic by environmental groups and citizens seeking legal advice. The exact content of matters handled by the clinic and student attorneys varies depending on client needs but it is likely to include initial case investigative work, legal research, work on proposed legislation or local ordinances, participation in local, state or federal administrative proceedings, and litigation conducted in conjunction with outside counsel. Students are required to work a minimum of 140 hours for three credits or 100 hours for two credits. Students must accumulate these total hours over a period of at least the 7 week GSU Summer term but may seek permission to work beyond 7 weeks as a way to reduce the weekly hourly committment. Students who are selected must discuss this scheduling issue with the director of the Clinic, Emory Professor Julie Mayfield.
