Law students work on important environmental projects, help craft legislation proposals and participate in legal challenges brought by participating lawyers. Meetings are held with government ministers, local politicians and experienced lawyers.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

"The NBELS Environmental Law Clinic is a valuable asset for law students in New Brunswick.  Students seeking to gain practical legal experience as well as a better understanding of environmental issues could not find a better place to invest their time."

- Ève St-Laurent, 2008-2009 & 2009-2010 participant

" I really enjoyed my experience with the NBELS. Although the clinic program is brand new, you wouldn't have known it. It was really well organized and we were very well supervised in our work.  We received good feedback and at the same time we were free to give our input and work at our own pace. "

- Marie-Aude Gosselin, 2007-2008 participant

" The clinic director was always available and responded to our questions and concerns; all the while allowing us the liberty to explore the legal problem at hand and to propose solutions.  I would recommend the NBELS pro-bono program to any law student.  I had a great experience that allowed me to bridge the theoretical knowledge imparted in law school with the practical work of the profession.
