Environmental Law and Policy Annual Review
The Environmental Law and Policy Annual Review (ELPAR) is a special issue of the Environmental Law Reporter, published in collaboration with the Vanderbilt University Law School (VULS) and the Environmental Law Institute (ELI) in Washington, DC. Each year, Vanderbilt Law students work with an expert advisory committee and senior staff from ELI to identify the year’s best academic articles that present legal and policy solutions to pressing environmental problems. The result is a one issue, student-edited volume that includes condensed versions of the selected articles, along with commentaries from leading experts from the academy, law firms, business, government and non-governmental organizations. The comments represent a broad range of perspectives.
In conjunction with the publication, ELI and Vanderbilt co-sponsor an annual conference at which the authors of the articles and comments present their ideas and views to an audience that includes business, government (federal, state and local), think tank, and non-profit representatives. The conference is structured in a manner that encourages dialogue among presenters and attendees.
This year for the first time we will convene two conferences:
Friday, April 16, 2010, 9:00-1:00 p.m., Washington, DC (Capitol Hill, Room 385, Russell Senate Office Building): Articles by Professors Lazarus, Resnik et al., Stewart and Wyman
Thursday, April 1, 2010, 12:00-2:00 p.m., Nashville, TN (Vanderbilt University Law School): Article by Professor Bronin
The event is free of charge, but space is limited. To RSVP for either conference, please contact Louise Yeung at yeung@eli.org or (202) 939-3247.
