March 2010

Thursday, March 18, 2010 to Sunday, March 21, 2010

This is the nation's leading environmental law conference during a period of dramatic change as the Obama Administration puts its imprint on the nation's environmental laws. Change is also in the air for the Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources as we move from 35 years at the Keystone Resort to our first time ever at The Grand America in Salt Lake City, Utah. Cutting edge sessions will include: climate change-reporting from Copenhagen and beyond, as well as the nuts and bolts of the new mandatory GHG reporting rule; the future of civil and criminal enforcement; fostering the new green energy grid; and overhaul of TSCA; as well as developments in clean air, clean water, oceans, brownfields, Superfund, international environmental law, species protection and public lands, and environmental justice. Senior officials from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Justice, state and local governments, as well as non-governmental organizations, corporate counsel, and private practitioners will present these topics. Our ethics panel will focus on potential traps for lawyers in the use of blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and other networking sites.
