Texas Environmental Law Journal (TELJ) will be holding their Fall Cite-On event from Monday, September 6th through Sunday, September 12th at noon. TELJ is a biannual journal with articles, student notes, and developments in environmental and natural-resource law. Members of TELJ have the opportunity to connect with the environmental legal community, refine their bluebook skills, and get to know fellow law students who are interested in environmental law.

If you are interested in participating in Cite-On, please go to https://www.telj.org/ or send a request for an application via email to texasenvironmentallawjournal@gmail.com.

The Student Organizations Fair is hosted by the Student Bar Association and provides a great opportunity for law students to gain exposure to the wide array of student-run organizations offered at Texas Law! This event is designed to provide a space for students to connect and find their niche within the law school.

The 2020-2021 Student Organizations Fair will be facilitated through Guidebook (the same platform used for the Freshlaw Orientation). There will be scheduled "events" for each organization from 11:30-2:30. Once you select an organization, there will be a link to guide you to their Zoom room. Each organization will have representatives available to answer questions and provide insight on their organization.

There is no order in which you need to navigate through the various "events"/ links. Please, feel free to "hop in and out" of each organization's Zoom room at your leisure.

All Texas Law students are welcome to learn more about the U.S. Army JAG program from Captain Levinia Lara, Field Screening Officer, who will answer questions about the Army JAG program, including summer internship and postgraduate opportunities.
