The intersections between energy and environmental law are increasingly significant. Recognizing the importance of these areas in producing more sustainable environmental outcomes, The George Washington University Law School launched the Journal of Energy and Environmental Law (JEEL) in 2009. As its name implies, JEEL focuses on legal and policy issues at the nexus of energy and environmental law.
JEEL is published three times a year as a supplement to the Environmental Law Report News & Analysis, one of the most highly ranked and most frequently cited environmental law journals in the country. At its core, JEEL is a student-run publication. Its partnership with the Environmental Law Institute, however, allows the journal to reach beyond traditional journal audiences. JEEL enjoys broad readership for authors, including academics, law firms, and government agencies.
Each volume features articles (approximately 8,000 to 20,000 words), perspective pieces (2,000 to 8,000 words), and student notes (8,000 to 12,000 words).
