Save the Planet - legal style. (career series)

Question:

Hey, Mr. Tetrick!

It was a pleasure hearing you speak tonight. I was not given a chance to talk to you, so I decided to take your advice by sending you an e-mail.

I am a freshman majoring in Biology, along with minors in French and Environmental Studies. However, unlike the "traditional" Biology major, I do not plan on going to medical school; instead, I plan on going to law school with a background in science. My career choices are to practice either Environmental or Patent Law.

I was just wondering if you know of any internships that relate to my career choices.

Again, it was nice meeting you and learning of your fantastic experiences.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Answer:

You have many options regardless of the path you decide on. If
you focus on our hurting planet, you'll have these awesome
opportunities on the patent and environmental law side:

WRI
Environmental Defense Fund
Earth Justice
Nature Conservancy
Sierra Club
Conservation International

The hundreds of clean energy companies on this list:

Law firm practices provide a path for patent for environmental law
through building a clean energy economy. For example:
