The San Diego Journal of Climate and Energy Law is a student-run law review published at the University of San Diego School of Law. The journal primarily publishes articles and comments discussing environmental law and policy with a particular focus on issues relating to climate change and energy.[1]
History
[edit]The journal was founded by students at the University of San Diego School of Law who wanted to create the "nation's first student-run law journal focused exclusively on legal aspects of the world's transition to a climate-safe economy."[2] The editor-in-chief of the journal's first issue remarked that he hoped the journal would generate "meaningful discussion that will provide real-world solutions" to problems associated with climate change.[3] The faculty of the university granted approval for the journal in 2008, and the first edition was published in 2009.[2] To generate article submissions for the first issue, the journal's editorial board hosted a symposium on topics relating to climate change and energy law.[2]
Overview
[edit]The journal publishes scholarship relating to climate change and energy law, including "claims related to climate change, law and economics associated with cap-and-trade greenhouse gas markets, new energy policy of the carbon-constrained world, legal implications of trans-border air and water pollution, and effects of climate change on endangered species law."[1] In 2016, Washington and Lee University's Law Journal Rankings placed the journal among the top twenty-five highest ranked environmental, natural resources, and land use law journals by overall score.[4] The journal also hosts an annual symposium on the topic of climate and energy law.[1]
Abstracting and indexing
[edit]The journal is abstracted or indexed in EBSCO databases,[5] HeinOnline,[5] LexisNexis,[6] Westlaw,[6] and the University of Washington's Current Index to Legal Periodicals.[7] Tables of contents are also available through Infotrieve and Ingenta,[5] and the journal posts past issues on its website.[8]
