The Fordham Environmental Law Review (ELR) is a law journal published by students at Fordham University School of Law. The Review publishes three annual volumes addressing topics in environmental law, legislation, and public policy. The ELR is among a minority of law journals in that it allows first years to apply for membership.
Founded in 1989 as the Fordham Environmental Law Report, in 1993 the journal changed its name to the Fordham Environmental Law Journal. In 2004 the journal adopted its current name.
On October 1, 2007 the Fordham Environmental Law Review sponsored its 15th annual symposium Energy and Climate Change: North and South Perspectives. The symposium examined the challenges and oppotunites presented by global climate change and its interplay with national and international law. Christopher Flavin delivered the keynote address. The symposium was put together in cooperation with the Leitner Center for International Law and Justice, the Natural Resources Defense Council, Pace Law School, and the United Nations Development Programme.

“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
“As I review my life, I feel I must have missed the point, either then or now.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
