History

The journal was founded by students at the University of San Diego School of Law who wanted to create the "nation's first student-run law journal focused exclusively on legal aspects of the world's transition to a climate-safe economy."[2] The editor-in-chief of the journal's first issue remarked that he hoped the journal would generate "meaningful discussion that will provide real-world solutions" to problems associated with climate change.[3] The faculty of the university granted approval for the journal in 2008, and the first edition was published in 2009.[2] To generate article submissions for the first issue, the journal's editorial board hosted a symposium on topics relating to climate change and energy law.[2]
