Student Opportunities
Experiential Learning Opportunities for Law Students
PECC offers dynamic opportunities for students from the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pac University to engage in hands-on legal research and advocacy at the forefront of energy and climate law.
Fall Externship Program
The 无码专区 Energy and Climate Center (PECC) is seeking externs to support PECC鈥檚 portfolio of work to expand equitable access to Thermal Energy Networks and other renewable energy technologies throughout downstate New York, as part of an integrated strategy for neighborhood-scale decarbonization, community-led climate action, and regional economic development. Additionally, externs will assist PECC鈥檚 Executive Director on scholarly research examining biofuel incentives in the United States, the laws and regulations that incentivize their use, and the impact of biofuel expansion on climate, land use, and environmental justice. This could be a 1 or 2 credit externship with a weekly requirement of 4 to 8 hours, respectively.
Energy and Climate Law Scholars
PECC offers opportunities for law students to conduct significant research on energy and climate law issues, with an opportunity to be featured in PECC鈥檚 regularly occurring publications, academic journals, and other scholarly sources. Energy and Climate Law Scholars will also play a crucial role in shaping PECC鈥檚 research priorities and digital footprint. There is no minimum time commitment requirement, but Scholars will be expected to contribute to at least one piece of research or scholarship.
