For more than two decades, Professor Tseming Yang's work as an environmental lawyer, professor, and policy advocate has focused both on advancing understanding of the structure and role of the law with respect to the environment as well as how to ensure that effective implementation will contribute to the achievement of justice and sustainability. In addition to his work on domestic environmental law and its intersection with civil rights and social justice considerations, his other areas of research and writing have focused on environmental law in international treaties and in the law and governance systems of other countries, especially China. At Santa Clara Law, Professor Yang teaches torts, property, the introductory environmental law survey course, and various environmental law specialty courses, including international environmental law. He works closely with the student Environmental Law Society and devotes a substantial amount of time providing career advice and helping law students obtain internships and jobs in the environmental field. Immediately prior to joining the Santa Clara Law faculty in 2012, Professor Yang served in President Obama's Administration as Deputy General Counsel of the US Environmental Protection Agency. From 2007 to 2010, he led the establishment of the US-China Partnership for Environmental Law, a US AID and State Department-funded initiative to build China's institutional capacity in environmental law and governance. Professor Yang started his career in environmental law as an attorney in the Environment and Natural Resources Division of the U.S. Department of Justice.
