Summer Student Series 2020: Kanisha Acharya-Patel

This summer, I had the opportunity to complete a 12-week internship with the East Coast Environmental Law Association, funded by the Schulich School of Law’s Academic Excellence Fund for Internships. I had the pleasure of working under the supervision of Lisa Mitchell, and my work this summer focused mostly on aquaculture regulation in Nova Scotia. My interest in environmental law and policy is what pushed me to apply to the Schulich School of Law and ultimately to reach out to East Coast Environmental Law for this summer internship opportunity. I value the work that this organization does, and I wanted to further my educational and professional development in the field of environmental law.
