History

The journal was founded by students at the University of San Diego School of Law who wanted to create the "nation's first student-run law journal focused exclusively on legal aspects of the world's transition to a climate-safe economy."[2] The editor-in-chief of the journal's first issue remarked that he hoped the journal would generate "meaningful discussion that will provide real-world solutions" to problems associated with climate change.[3] The faculty of the university granted approval for the journal in 2008, and the first edition was published in 2009.[2] To generate article submissions for the first issue, the journal's editorial board hosted a symposium on topics relating to climate change and energy law.[2]

Overview

The journal publishes scholarship relating to climate change and energy law, including "claims related to climate change, law and economics associated with cap-and-trade greenhouse gas markets, new energy policy of the carbon-constrained world, legal implications of trans-border air and water pollution, and effects of climate change on endangered species law."[1] In 2016, Washington and Lee University's Law Journal Rankings placed the journal among the top twenty-five highest ranked environmental, natural resources, and land use law journals by overall score.[4] The journal also hosts an annual symposium on the topic of climate and energy law.[1]
