An ELI and EDF Public Webinar
Join the Environmental Law Institute and Environmental Defense Fund for the 15th installment of ELI’s continuing legal education series: Community Lawyering for Environmental Justice. This webinar, “Building an Energy Future That Leaves No One Energy Poor,” will equip attorneys with practical insights and tools to advocate for energy security and equitable access to clean energy on behalf of their clients.
Along with EDF attorneys Curt Stokes and Jolette Westbrook, guest speakers Professor Destenie Nock and Karen Lusson will explore how to measure and address energy poverty, as well as how to use regulatory proceedings to lower energy bills and protect affordability. You will also hear how attorneys can support their clients to participate effectively in public utility proceedings, bring lived experience into energy regulatory decision-making, and achieve meaningful results.
Panelists:
Thomas Lutken, Science Fellow, Climate Judiciary Project, Environmental Law Institute, Moderator
Karen Lusson, Senior Attorney, National Consumer Law Center
Destenie Nock, Assistant Professor, Engineering & Public Policy, Carnegie Mellon University
Curt Stokes, Senior Attorney, Environmental Defense Fund
Jolette Westbrook, Director and Senior Attorney, Regulatory Solutions, Environmental Defense Fund
Continuing Legal Education (CLE)
ELI is an accredited CLE provider in Vermont and Pennsylvania, so this program will be automatically approved for 1.5 hours of standard CLE credit in those states. Please check your state's CLE guidelines to see if your state offers reciprocity with the states in which we are pre-approved. If you are seeking CLE in a state in which we did not apply for accreditation (and also which does not offer reciprocity with VT or PA), you will need to apply for CLE credit individually.
Materials:
Materials will be posted as they are received. The public can access the session recording and materials within 3-5 business days after the event. To access other archives sessions, please consider becoming an ELI member to access our many member benefits.
