School of Law Among Top Leaders in the Nation for Environmental Law
April 28, 2025
The Natural Resources and Environmental Law (NREL) Program is proud to have earned an A+ rating from the National Jurist’s PreLaw Magazine this spring. The School of Law is one of only 16 schools nationally to receive this grade in environmental law.
Director of the NREL Program Gabriel Pacyniak shared, “We are thrilled for this continued recognition of our Natural Resources and Environmental Law Program, especially because we added Professor Warigia Bowman to our faculty this year and we are welcoming back Professor Cliff Villa from a leave of absence in the Environmental Protection Agency leadership. With the support of Dean Camille Carey, we are also continuing to expand our offering. Next year we are planning a new summer field course and adding courses covering utility regulation and agricultural law. And it reflects in our students—we will be tying our record this year with 16 students graduating with the NREL Certificate.”
