Outside and in-house counsel are investing in initiatives that provide attorneys with experience teaching at a law school and that mentor undergraduates who may attend law school.
The University of Houston Law Center, with support from Houston-based Andrews Kurth, has launched the Andrews Kurth Energy Law Scholars program to encourage scholarship in energy and environmental law. Over the next three years, five lawyers with energy and environmental experience will teach a class at the law school and “devote time to research, writing and other scholarly pursuits,” the law center announced recently in a press release.
