Course/Activity Detail

Course Description More than five decades ago – just after the first national environmental law was passed, ALI CLE and ELI began offering the first national CLE on the subject. Now in our 53rd year, we are still at it: helping lawyers understand the key current environmental law issues that their clients need them to know. After a two year hiatus, we’re pleased to offer environmental law colleagues an opportunity to get back together in person to explore the latest developments in natural resources (air, water, species), climate, chemical, energy, and environmental justice; and what’s happened with Congress after the mid-term elections, the Supreme Court, the Biden-Harris administration, as well as what the future holds. Our national faculty will keep you current and alert you to changes in the many facets of environmental law affecting your practice and your clients. Expand your comprehensive understanding and be on alert for the changes underway today and in the future. Even if your practice is specialized, this high-level program will brief you on the key developments arising in each of the major areas of environmental law and their intersections. A faculty of seasoned private practitioners, senior governmental officials, law professors, and public interest advocates will provide balanced perspectives on the most pressing issues facing today’s environmental lawyer. The 2023 program features: A keynote panel on environmental enforcement from top leaders at the EPA and DOJ CERCLA litigation and regulatory developments Environmental law at the U.S. Supreme Court Clean Air Act compliance, enforcement, and current developments Climate change developments Environmental challenges in the shift to renewable energy Latest on toxics and emerging contaminants Leading issues and trends in water and wetlands Hot topics with public lands, natural resources and endangered species NEPA and environmental justice regulatory developments Ethics for the environmental lawyer
