An international consortium of scholars that has played a major part in studies of ocean law since the 1970s, the Law of the Sea Institute (LOSI) was transferred to the Institute for Legal Research (ILR) in April 2002 and is administered by Professors Harry Scheiber and David Caron as co-chairs. LOSI has published a distinguished series of conference proceedings on a range of subjects dealing with ocean policy and the law of the sea with assistance from university, foundation, and governmental sponsors.

The Environmental Law and Policy Program continues its sponsorship of a series of public lectures for 2004-2005. In each instance, the visiting speakers are in residence at Boalt Hall from three to five days, and have allocated significant office time during their stay to meet with students on an individual basis. Working in cooperation with the Environmental Law Society, a Boalt Hall student group, the Institute seeks to enrich the opportunities for students and others in the UC Berkeley community in the field of environmental law and policy.

The California Center for Environmental Law and Policy (CCELP) is a research center at the Boalt Hall School of Law at the University of California, Berkeley. CCELP’s mission is to foster interdisciplinary environmental law and policy research and to translate that research into pragmatic solutions.
