The Environmental Law and Policy Annual Review (ELPAR) is a joint publication between Vanderbilt University Law School (VULS) and the Environmental Law Institute (ELI) in Washington, D.C. Each year, Vanderbilt Law students work with an expert advisory board and senior staff from ELI to identify the year’s best legal and policy solutions to pressing environmental problems. The result is a one issue, student-edited volume that includes condensed versions of the selected articles, along with commentaries from leading experts from the academy, law firms, business, government and non-governmental organizations. The comments represent a broad range of perspectives.
The authors of the articles and comments present their work at an annual conference in Washington, D.C., that is co-sponsored by ELI and VULS. The attendees have an opportunity for dialogue with the panelists and with other audience members. Our audience includes representatives from businesses, state and federal government, think tanks, and non-profit organizations.

"ELPAR is a really groundbreaking approach to bringing the country's top legal scholarship to policymakers and practitioners. Working with Professor Breggin and her team at ELI gives you access to some of the most well-respected environmental attorneys in the country, not just through the editorial work you do with authors and commenters but also during ELPAR's annual symposium on the Hill. Perhaps most gratifying is the source of pride for students when we see some of the policy recommendations we helped identify being put into practice."
