NYU Environmental Law Journal

What NYU Environmental Law Journal does

The NYU Environmental Law Journal is a student-run academic law journal based at NYU School of Law, founded in 1991. It publishes three issues per year of original environmental law scholarship, serving legal academics, practitioners, policymakers, and students. The journal operates as a nonprofit publication housed within the university, with editorial leadership rotating annually among NYU Law students (currently Editor-in-Chief Melissa Loza and Managing Editor Filip Bartel).

The journal's core product is its triannual publication of environmental law articles, available by subscription ($28 domestic, $30 foreign) with back issues sold at $16. It has accumulated over 330 institutional library subscribers worldwide, forming the backbone of its distribution. Content syndication is conducted through the Environmental Law Review Syndicate, which links the journal with peer publications at Harvard, Georgetown, UCLA, Lewis & Clark, Vermont, Ecology Law Quarterly, and Rutgers.

The business model is subscription-based and nonprofit, with revenue derived from library and individual subscriptions, back-issue sales, and likely institutional support from NYU School of Law. The journal extends its reach through annual symposia hosted in partnership with the NYU Environmental Law Society and the Frank J. Guarini Center on Environmental and Land Use Law. Its operations are anchored at NYU School of Law at 110 West Third Street, New York.

Core offering

The NYU Environmental Law Journal is a student-edited academic law review that publishes environmental law scholarship — including articles, essays, book reviews, and case comments — three times per year. It distributes printed and digital issues via paid institutional subscriptions to libraries at law schools, law firms, governmental agencies, and courthouses worldwide, complemented by the free Environmental Law Review Syndicate that curates cross-journal content and by annual symposia convening academics and practitioners.

Product overview

The NYU Environmental Law Journal is a single, unified academic publication operating as a student-edited law review. The journal publishes environmental law scholarship including articles, essays, book reviews, and case comments. It complements its main publication with the Environmental Law Review Syndicate (a blog featuring environmental law commentary from various publications) and annual symposia on environmental law topics. The journal does not operate a modular software platform but rather provides traditional academic publishing services including article submissions, subscriptions, and archival access to past issues.
