Administrivia: Blog Charter and Guidelines

NESL Environmental Law Society Blog Charter

The purpose of this blog is to provide a community forum for the environmentally-minded among NESL alums and students. New England School of Law has an active Environmental Law Society that aims to develop and promote programs for students interested in environmental law as a career and for those generally interested in environmental issues.

Our hope is to share our environmental issues and concerns where we can collectively address key environmental law issues, focus awareness on the legal and policy management of these issues, and provide advocacy on the local, state and federal levels through sponsorship, participation, education, and networking.

We encourage participation through posting blog notes, facilitating discussion boards, and mingles. Dates for gatherings will be posted as they develop.

Posting Guidelines for Our NESL ELS Blog Members

Posts on environmental law, science or policy are particularly welcome, as is any article or comment in line with the Society's environmental focus. The environment is a broad topic, so don't be afraid to bring up something with a convoluted connection to environmental concerns, so long as that connection is reasonably clear in your posted article or comment.

Environmental issues are matters not only of great breadth and depth, but capable of stirring great passion as well. Please post courteously. "Flames" will be deleted.

Questions? Comments? Suggestions?

Please direct information on advocacy opportunities, suggestions for mingles, etc., to Elizabeth Kadlub of the NESL Environmental Law Society, at elkadlub@yahoo.com.

Please direct any technical or "how-to" questions about joining the blog, making posts or comments, using Blogger in general, etc., to Sidra Vitale, at sidra@vitale.net. (Please note that this blog is hosted by Blogger.com. NESL staff, students, and the ELS do not run or maintain Blogger, or the servers used to host Blogger blogs. We will not be able to respond to reports of the Blogger service going down, were it to do so.)

Thank you, and welcome to the NESL ELS Blog!
