The Colorado Environmental Law Journal (CELJ) provides a forum for natural resources, energy, and environmental law and policy on local, regional, and global scales. CELJ works to empower unique perspectives and outlooks on complex environmental legal issues. These topics include but are not limited to natural resources, energy, and environmental law and policy on local, regional, and global scales. The Colorado Environmental Law Journal is proud to be an active part of the environmental law community at Colorado Law. 

 

CELJ was founded in 1989 (then the Colorado Journal of International Environmental Law & Policy) by an enterprising group of law students interested in creating a publication that focused on the then emerging field of international environmental law. As the great environmental issues of our times have been increasingly addressed at multiple levels of governance through disparate bodies of law, the Journal gradually broadened its scope to include these approaches without changing its title. The Board of Editors believed that the new title would not only reflect this broader scope but would position the publication to attract articles about the most pressing issues related to natural resources, energy, and the environment for years to come. CELJ continues to publish articles about public international environmental law and global environmental problems. We anticipate featuring an international article or note in every issue of the Journal.

 

CELJ also shares a partnership with the Getches-Wilkinson Center for Natural Resources, Energy, and the Environment. The Board of Editors look forward to working with the Center on symposia and lectures, material from which will be published in the Journal.
