Why You Should Attend
If your clients do any construction, planning, or conservation, you need to know the complex federal laws regulating wetlands and other waters, including the new definition of “waters of the United States.” Practitioners who advise or work in many sectors of the national economy – agriculture, construction and land development, government regulation, forestry, mining, highway and other transportation, public works, recreation, and utilities, to name a few – must know the laws and regulatory programs dealing with the protection of wetlands and other waters.
What You Will Learn
A top-flight faculty of senior public officials, experienced private practitioners, government prosecutors and defense attorneys, and public interest advocates provide an unparalleled update on the law for the experienced practitioner and an overview of the basic substantive law and practice issues for the less experienced practitioner.
The course features, at no additional charge, an optional 60 minutes on professional responsibility issues and ethics concerns in the environmental law context (during the lunch break); and an optional introductory lecture Wednesday evening, May 13, to help newer practitioners grasp the basic sources of law in this area.

Who Should Attend
The course is designed for a wide audience. It updates experienced attorneys and related professionals, informs public affairs specialists about the issues that will form tomorrow’s debates, and provides general practitioners with an excellent framework for understanding the law and counseling clients in this complex area.
