Engaging Students and Informing Policy Decision-Making

Carolina Law’s Center for Climate, Energy, Environment and Economics (CE3) creates opportunities for law students to develop a deep understanding of environmental, energy and climate law beyond the classroom. CE3 offers students opportunities to assist with research and co-author publications, and supports experiential learning opportunities, such as externships and energy and environmental moot court competitions.

The Center also works to inform public policy and private sector decision-making at the state and federal levels though nonpartisan, objective analysis. The Center begins projects by engaging stakeholders in government, business and communities to identify pressing energy and environmental issues. CE3 then partners with students, Carolina Law faculty and scholars from other universities to provide analysis and identify innovative legal responses.
