Journal of Environmental Law and Litigation

The Journal of Environmental Law and Litigation is a student-run law review published at University of Oregon School of Law. The journal publishes articles and essays about environmental law, natural resources law, and litigation relating to these fields.

History and overview
The journal was founded in 1986 by participants at the University of Oregon School of Law's Western Public Interest Law Conference. The founding editors intended for the journal to be a forum for scholarship relating to "citizen enforcement of public [environmental] laws." In 1994, the journal began publishing on a biannual basis.

The 2016 Washington and Lee University Law Journal Rankings placed the journal among the twenty five highest rated environmental, natural resources, and land use law journals. Additionally, the journal was ranked among the top eleven environmental, natural resources, and land use law journals most frequently cited by cases. Articles in the journal have been cited by the Second, Third, Eighth, and Ninth Courts of Appeals. Occasionally, the journal has published issues relating to symposia sponsored by the University of Oregon School of Law.
