Why You Should Attend
Five-and-a-half decades ago – just after the first national environmental law was passed – ALI CLE and ELI began offering this conference, the first national CLE program on the subject. Now in our 55th year, we are still at it: helping lawyers understand the key current environmental law issues that their clients need them to know.
Join us in 2025 – in person or on the web – and be among the first to hear what lies ahead in a pivotal year for environmental law and regulation.
Taking place on the heels of a major election, the 2025 conference will be one of the first to explore the potential impacts of a new administration and Congress on future environmental regulation and legislation. Integrated panels of experienced practitioners, regulators, leading academics, and environmental advocates will share their insights on current and future challenges and opportunities, helping you be the best advocate for your clients.
Can’t make it to D.C.? Watch the live video webcast and see every session (or just a single day), be able to submit live questions to the faculty, and get access to all of the written materials.
What You Will Learn
Our carefully selected, seasoned panelists will provide balanced perspectives on the most pressing issues facing today’s environmental lawyers. They will explore the latest developments in natural resources (air, water, species), climate, chemical, energy, and environmental justice; what’s happening in Congress and the Supreme Court, and what we anticipate under a new presidential administration. Even if your practice is specialized, this high-level program will get you up-to-date on the key developments arising in each of the major areas of environmental law and their intersections and prepare you for what is to come.
Topics for 2025 are in development. To see the 2024 topics, click here.
