Why Western Boot Camp?

Join us for a stimulating three-day immersion in environmental law at Western Boot Camp. Designed for both new and seasoned lawyers, this intensive course explores the substance and practice of environmental law. 

Both Western and Eastern Boot Camps provide an excellent overview of federal environmental law and cover similar material. However, they follow slightly different agendas and have a few other differences:

  • Both have top-rated faculty members, who tend to be from the respective region.
  • Eastern Boot Camp tends to have more participants and therefore has more intensive networking opportunities.
  • Western Boot Camp tends to be smaller, has more personal attention from faculty members, and features more coverage of environmental topics that are prevalent on the West Coast.

Sample Western Boot Camp Agenda:

  • Agriculture
  • Clean Water Act (CWA)
  • Clean Air Act (CAA)
  • Climate Change
  • Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)
  • Endangered Species Act (ESA)
  • Energy Law
  • Environmental Enforcement
  • Environmental Liabilities in Business Transactions
  • Environmental Justice
  • Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance
  • Ethics in Environmental Law
  • National Environmental Policy Act
  • Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
