Description
The Virginia Environmental Law Journal is a leader in environmental legal scholarship, published by students at the University of Virginia School of Law. The Journal focuses on state, regional, national, and international issues of environmental, preservation, land use, energy, and natural resources law. VELJ, founded in 1979, publishes three to four times each year.
VELJ is a student-run organization with a staff of approximately 50 second- and third-year law students. Membership is open to all University of Virginia Law School students who demonstrate exceptional skill in legal writing and analysis in a rigorous three-day written tryout.
Our faculty advisor is Jonathan Z. Cannon. Professor Cannon is also the director of the Law School's Center for Environmental Studies. He joined the Law School faculty in 1998 from the Environmental Protection Agency, where he served as general counsel (1995-98) and assistant administrator for administration and resources management (1992-95).
