Product Description

Serious environmental and land use lawyers and litigators know that MCLE’s Annual Environmental, Land Use & Energy Law Conference is “the place to be” on March 30th. Learn what happened in federal and state legislatures, agencies, and courts, and in Massachusetts municipal law. Find out what you need to know for your clients and career—and catch up on what you missed this year.

The panelists survey the critical new developments in each of the major fields of environmental law, energy law, land use, and related litigation. For those who have attended in prior years, attending annually refreshes your knowledge and helps keep you up-to-date on the latest developments. And for those new to the Conference, attending is a great way to broaden and deepen your knowledge by learning from experts who have been tracking the trends, cases, and statutory changes.
