Clean air, land and water are increasingly
being seen as legal issues. For eco activists and corporate
defenders environmental law will be the central focus of the 90s.
The focus of the club varies each year in accordance to our members
interests.
Some of the issues we have been concerned with includes: joint and
several liability in oil and hazardous waste, draft net fishing,
protection of public interest values in non-renewable resources, marine
and wildlife protection and native rights.
To bring increased awareness on campus on some of these issues we
helped organize and participate in the "Public Law Seminar". A first
for UBC.
At the law school we have encouraged the three R's. Our recycling
efforts in particular have been met with success. Paper and aluminum
cans are now collected at the law school for recycling.
