Environmental law is an evolving field that hasn’t stopped changing in the midst of a global pandemic. Explore what’s happening with Wisconsin’s air, soil and water at the 32nd Annual Environmental Law Update. Featuring a keynote address from Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, this quick-hitting program examines the major federal and state legislative, regulatory, and litigation issues at large. An experienced panel will walk you through ethical situations common to environmental practice and you’ll receive the practical advice you need to respond with confidence. Plus, representatives from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will share insights you don’t want to miss.
