The Community Environmental Law Clinic
Are you part of a group interested in learning more about environmental law? Does your community face an environmental challenge and need advice?
East Coast Environmental LAw prides itself on being closely integrated with its surrounding communities. The needs of the communities in which we live and work shape the support we provide. When there is an environmental concern to address, we bring legal resources to the table by sharing information, providing legal advice, and, when required, pursuing a legal solution.
One of the ways we support Atlantic Canadian communities is through our travelling environmental law clinics. Our goal is to make the law accessible by sharing our legal expertise to inform, empower, and connect Atlantic Canadians so that we can all affect change that strengthens our communities and protects our environment.
Let us know how we can help your community learn more about environmental law through our interactive and participatory clinic program. At ECELAW, we believe that increasing awareness and understanding is the first step to accessing justice. Work with us to bring our travelling clinic to your community in Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, or Newfoundland and Labrador.

- Coastal Protection Legislation
- Environmental Rights

- Public Interest Litigation
- Environmental Law for Land and Sea
