Internship Opportunity @ The Enviro Legal Defence Firm (ELDF), Delhi
Welcome To Enviro Legal Defence Firm:
The Enviro Legal Defence Firm (ELDF), India’s first environmental law firm, is a manifestation of a dream, to be different; to achieve; to make a difference. Environment is the canvas, law is the brush. We look forward to painting a life, which is beautiful, clean, green, fresh and honest. ELDF aims at mainstreaming the discipline of environment and development law, resolving conflicts over natural resources and strengthen environmental jurisprudence. It’s our belief that there is a great potential to contribute to this discipline by bridging the gap that exists between the field-based conflicts and the courts or other formal adjudicating bodies. We also believe that ‘Practicing law’ has to grow beyond the formal courts of law.
