California Environmental Law

California Environmental Law & Policy

Some places in the world, like California, are a national and global leader in fashioning environmental law and policy. This topic focuses on the many facets of this leadership role: climate change, energy regulation and conservation; coastal protection; environmental impact assessment (CEQA); citizen enforcement litigation; state, regional and local land use regulation; environmental federalism (i.e., disputes between California and federal authority over environmental regulation; etc.). Messrs. Alex and Rodriquez will lead and moderate a series of panel discussions on these topics, featuring guest speakers including practicing environmental attorneys, government policy makers and non-legal environmental experts.
