The Environmental Law Institute was pleased to organize a series of free lectures in Washington, DC, to provide an introduction to the legal foundations of environmental protection in the United States. Summer law clerks, interns, and others who wanted to acquire a working knowledge of the basics were invited to attend. Each presentation was made by an experienced practitioner and provided an overview of the history, main provisions, and essential vocabulary of the specific statute.
David B. Fischer (Chlorine Chemistry Council, American Chemistry Council) guided the audience through the thicket of federal statutes and regulatory agencies overseeing chemical product formulation, manufacture, and use.
