What is EPC:
 
EPC offers an interdisciplinary experience that brings together law students and students from the Yale School of the Environment to work on cutting-edge projects in collaboration with the Natural Resources Defense Council and other public interest organizations. Students will have the opportunity to work alongside leading environmental advocates and gain practical experience in public interest advocacy.
 
EPC is a project-based clinic, in that EPC students are assigned to work on a specific project for the semester based on their interests. You can find descriptions of our projects in the project guide. This year's clinic also includes projects and instructors from the Climate, Animal, Food, and Environmental Law & Policy Lab (CAFE Lab). There are opportunities to work on matters addressing environmental justice, climate change, industrial animal agriculture, forest protection, ocean conservation, and more. The projects also cover a wide range of advocacy approaches, including policy development, legislative and regulatory advocacy, and direct community engagement. 
 
How should YSE Students apply:
 
All interested students are encouraged to apply to EPC, regardless of level of experience. This is a great opportunity to gain exposure to a new field or to hone previous experience in environmental advocacy. 
 
To apply, please complete the EPC bidding form by October 31, 4:30 p.m. ET. On the bidding form, we ask you to rank the projects you are interested in working on. More information on the application process is included in the project guide and bidding form.
