Each year, students in the program form a close community that enjoys the benefits of being a distinct cohort within the larger student body.NYU is the leading institution in environmental and land use law among the top American law schools. Our faculty have established reputations for path-breaking research and scholarship that has driven policy formation in the United States on such issues as climate change, air pollution, housing and urban development, and contemporary urban environmental law. These professors also direct three separate research institutions at NYU that organize conferences and workshops on environmental, energy, and land use topics with leading decision-makers, advocates, and academics. Students actively engage with our faculty and their centers’ entrepreneurial research and activities as a complement to the formal curriculum.
