The Seattle Journal of Environmental law hosted members of a U.S. State Department professional exchange program, meeting with a delegation of environmental policy makers from Vietnam to discuss the role of environmental law journals, such as the Seattle Journal of Environmental Law, in future environmental regulation and policy. The Seattle University School of Law, SJEL, shared its role as Washington State’s first environmental law journal, and discussed the unique effect that a law journal with a strong online presence has on the academic community and environmental policymaking.
