Earthjustice — Environmental Legal Services
Program Summary
National nonprofit environmental law firm providing pro bono legal representation on significant water and clean environment cases.
Full Description
Earthjustice is the nation's largest nonprofit environmental law firm, representing citizen groups, tribes, and conservation organizations in cases that set legal precedent. The firm's water program has litigated major Clean Water Act cases, fought pipeline projects, and defended wetland protections. Services are provided at no cost to clients who meet case-selection criteria. Earthjustice does not provide routine legal assistance for every watershed dispute — cases must advance broader policy goals. Groups facing major regulatory threats can submit a case inquiry through the Earthjustice website. For smaller legal needs, Earthjustice maintains a resource library of model briefs and fact sheets freely available to other environmental advocates.
