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.
Famous quotes containing the words law and/or review:
“No. I am not the law in your mind,
the grandfather of watchfulness.
I am the law of your members,
the kindred of blackness and impulse.
See. Your hand shakes.
It is not palsy or booze.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Twice and thrice over, as they say, good is it to repeat and review what is good.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
