Environmental Law Section


The Environmental Law Section is dedicated to attorneys and professionals working on the front lines of environmental and natural resources law. Through education, networking, and community recognition, the Section fosters dialogue on the laws and policies that shape how we protect and sustain our environment.

We strive to support practitioners by providing timely programs, resources, and a professional network that addresses the challenges and opportunities in environmental law.
