DETROIT - Wayne State University Law School and the University of Windsor Law School reported Tuesday that they are collaborating to provide their students opportunities to work together in the Great Lakes Environmental Law Center.
Beginning as early as this fall, students from both schools will tackle together legal issues including air and water quality, invasive species, renewable energy and environmental justice. The Great Lakes Environmental Law Center is located in TechTown, the Wayne State University Research and Technology Park.
“We are thrilled to partner with Windsor Law on the first U.S.-Canada environmental law clinic of its kind,” said Nick Schroeck, director of the Wayne Law Environmental Law Clinic and the Great Lakes Environmental Law Center. “Wayne Law’s already established Environmental Law Clinic, which works closely with the Great Lakes Environmental Law Center, provides an ideal base from which we will expand course offerings for our students on an international scale.”
Windsor Law Professor Marcia Valiante said, “Our students at both law schools will be able to learn about another nation’s legal system and take an active role in affecting environmental policy. The countries face similar environmental challenges that we hope to address in a cooperative way for the benefit of citizens on both sides of the border.”
