The Environmental Law Association is a student-run organization building a community of environmental leaders and stewards within GW Law and the wider University. ELA works with students, professors, alumni, and outside environmental professionals to organize a variety of events for educational, social, and career purposes. In addition to these formal events, ELA also offers members informal opportunities to share information regarding environmental law courses at the law school, and internship experiences and career options with firms, non-governmental organizations, and government agencies in the DC area.

Students participate in ELA's pro bono project with the Anacostia Watershed Society and also with the Student Animal Legal Defense Fund's Animal Welfare Project. ELA is also an active member of the National Association of Environmental Law Societies and its Campus Climate Neutral project.

ELA membership is open to all law students, whether fully committed to a future in environmental law or simply interested in getting outdoors.
