The San Diego Journal of Climate and Energy Law is a student-run law review published at the University of San Diego School of Law.

History

The journal was founded by students at the University of San Diego School of Law who wanted to create the "nation's first student-run law journal focused exclusively on legal aspects of the world's transition to a climate-safe economy."Thomas R. Del Monte, Letter from the Founding Editor, 1 {{smallcaps|San Diego J. Climate & Energy L.}} iv (2009). The editor-in-chief of the journal's first issue remarked that he hoped the journal would generate "meaningful discussion that will provide real-world solutions" to problems associated with climate change.Vic A. Merjanian, Letter from the Editor, {{smallcaps|San Diego J. Climate & Energy L.}} iii (2009). The faculty of the university granted approval for the journal in 2008, and the first edition was published in 2009. To generate article submissions for the first issue, the journal's editorial board hosted a symposium on topics relating to climate change and energy law.

Overview

The journal publishes scholarship relating to climate change and energy law, including "claims related to climate change, law and economics associated with cap-and-trade greenhouse gas markets, new energy policy of the carbon-constrained world, legal implications of trans-border air and water pollution, and effects of climate change on endangered species law." In 2016, Washington and Lee University's Law Journal Rankings placed the journal among the top twenty-five highest ranked environmental, natural resources, and land use law journals by overall score.[http://lawlib.wlu.edu/LJ/index.aspx "Law Journals: Submission and Ranking, 2008-2015,"] Washington & Lee University (Accessed: September 25, 2016).
