: Legal Pad | LAUCLA Law gets $10 million for new climate change center
By Jason Siegel
The UCLA School of Law received $10 million to create a center on climate change and the environment.
The Emmett Center will be the nation's first law school center focused exclusively on climate change, according to a UCLA press release.
It will collaborate with the school's environmental law clinic and environmental law and policy program.
The center's faculty director will be law professor Ann Carlson, with other positions to be determined upon the center's completion, the UCLA's Daily Bruin reports (here).
The endowment comes from Dan Emmett, chair of a Santa Monica real estate investment trust, and his family. Emmett is an adviser to Gov. Schwarzenegger's Green Building Initiative and is a founding member of several environmental organizations in the state.
