ABA Jobs Bulletin Board

In looking for something else, I came across the jobs bulletin board of the American Bar Association.  The available positions can be narrowed to just environmental jobs.  There appear to be primarily law firm and other commercial openings listed. Looks like a very useful resource, with one exception - some of the listings appear to require member log-in/password (though basic info such as job title and employer/location will often appear/be available even without log-in).

Here's link to website, for those interested - click the link and then enter "environmental" in the search box:

Student Opportunity: Environmental Justice Writing Competition, $1000 Prize, Deadline: May 3, 2013

Of possible interests to students.  For full announcement see end of post.  Here's an excerpt:
 
Twenty years ago, Luke Cole identified the need for “environmental poverty law,” which he described as “a model of practice based on client empowerment, group representation, and a narrow role for legal tools.” [Luke W. Cole, Empowerment as the Key to Environmental Protection: The Need for Environmental Poverty Law, 19 ECOLOGY L.Q. 619, 683 (1992).  ] In honor of Cole’s life and work, which were devoted to representing low-income and minority communities exposed to more than their fair share of environmental harms, the American Bar Association invites thoughtful essays on the evolution and future of environmental justice lawyering. Essays may address issues such as standing and the limits of available causes of action; ethical, organizational, principal-agent, and other challenges of representing environmental justice communities and community based organizations; special concerns with good neighbor, community benefits, and other agreements; the appropriate roles an attorney should play in advancing client and community interests; implications of recent developments such as EPA’s Plan EJ 2014 (including “Legal Tools,” a review of available legal authorities), the preliminary finding of adverse, disparate impact of agency-funded activities under Title VI and subsequent settlement in Angelita C, and the rise of “climate justice” as an organizing principle.

PRIZE: The winning essay will receive an offer of publication from the Brooklyn Law Review and a prize of $1,000, courtesy of the American Bar Association.  Submissions are due by Friday, May 3, 2013. Members of ABA’s Environmental Justice Committee and editors of the Brooklyn Law Review will select the winner, to be announced on Friday, July 12, 2013. The Committee includes the following members:

The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is one of the key agreements adopted at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, where world leaders agreed on a comprehensive strategy for sustainable development – meeting our needs while ensuring that we leave a healthy and viable world for future generations. The Convention has 193 Parties and sets out commitments for maintaining the world's ecological underpinnings as we go about the business of economic development. The Convention establishes three main goals: the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components, and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits from the use of genetic resources.

The intern will contribute to the work of two separate but closely linked programmes of work, i.e. the programme of work on protected areas which includes the LifeWeb Initiative, and the programme of work on dry and sub-humid lands, including work on climate change and linkages with other multilateral environmental agreements. In particular, the tasks of the intern may include, but will not be limited to, the following:
.



Review, analyze, and make recommendations to improve online gathering of data, storage and analysis of protected area and related information and reports;

Research new and innovative knowledge management tools and other opportunities;

Research donor profiles and align their priorities with those of potential partner countries and projects seeking funding;
