The Oregon LL.M. in Environmental and Natural Resources Law

The University of Oregon offers a select group of students the opportunity to earn an LL.M. in Environmental and Natural Resources Law.

The Oregon LL.M. combines:

• a small class size,
• personal attention by faculty members with a strong experience and reputation in both academia and in the practicing bar,
• education at a major research university (member of the elite A.A.U.),
• the highest reputation for both its environmental law program and its overall law school.

The University of Oregon is the only leading U.S. research university to offer an LL.M. in Environmental and Natural Resources Law. Only 2 percent of American universities and colleges are considered advanced enough in academic research to join the elite Association of American Universities (A.A.U.). They include the University of Oregon -- which is also ranked by Sierra Magazine (November/December 2007) as a "Top School" for environmental law. Environmental lawyers around the world and in the U.S. also put Oregon in the lead in terms of reputation where it counts: among the practicing bar.

The University Oregon offers one of the best and longest-established programs in environmental law and natural resources law in the world.
