Energy Law Society

Lincoln Alexander School of Law · Toronto Metropolitan University

Training the next generation of energy lawyers.

Founded in 2026, we are a new student society for one of the largest and fastest-changing areas of legal practice: regulation, renewables, oil and gas, and energy disputes, with a global and comparative outlook.

Who we are

Energy is where law, markets, and the globe meet.

The Energy Law Society exists to give Lincoln Alexander law students practical exposure to the field: how energy projects get built, financed, regulated, and fought over. From power purchase agreements to pipeline disputes, energy work sits at the centre of the modern economy.

We launched in 2026, and we are building the club from the ground up: connecting students with the lawyers doing this work in Toronto and around the world, and developing the skills to join them.

  • 2026founded at LASL

What we're planning

Four programs. One goal.

We are a brand-new club, so everything below is what we plan to build in our first year. Join us and help shape it.
