THE ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL LAW SOCIETY
The Energy and Environmental Law Society is a composition of law students enthusiastic about the world of Energy and Environmental Law alongside its offerings in the society.
The society is unwaveringly dedicated towards the democratization of the knowledge of Energy and Environmental Law within Lagos State University and beyond.
The society achieves its aim through bi-weekly meetings, regular discussion segments, webinars, blogs, and its forthcoming podcast (to be launched earnestly)
The society was birthed as a result of the identification of a steep knowledge gap in the jurisprudence of Energy and Environmental Law amongst law students within and outside the Lagos State University.
In an attempt to address this knowledge deficit, the founding members committed to the creation of this society. The unwavering commitment of the society towards the Energy Sector is clearly demonstrated by the quality of programs perpetuated by the society.
