Mission Statement
Through the EENR Clinic, the University of Wyoming College of Law and the Wyoming Attorney General’s Office will collaborate to provide third year law students with classroom instruction, simulated experiential learning exercises, and supervised legal practice experience to prepare them to practice law in the public or private sector in the areas of energy, environmental, and natural resources law.
Goals
The EENR Clinic’s goals are to provide:
- A classroom and work environment that encourages students to transition from an academic performance mentality (where a high letter grade provides an incentive to perform quality work) to a professional practice mentality (where the desire to provide ethical and professional legal representation to the client provides the incentive to perform high quality work).
- A classroom and work environment that encourages students to develop professional responsibility and professional accountability in the practice of law.
- A classroom and work environment that encourages students to develop self-directed learning skills and problem-solving skills relevant to the practice of law.
- A classroom and work environment that will encourage students to develop lawyering skills, communication skills, and time management skills relevant to the practice of law.
- Students with a basic understanding of how to litigate an administrative record review case in federal court.
- Students with a basic understanding of Wyoming regulatory law in the subject areas of environmental law, oil and gas law, water law, and wildlife law.
Motto
Learn by doing. Don’t just know, understand. Never stop learning.
* All clinics and practicums are subject to change in terms of content, caseload, and specific course focus in any given year.
