Issues of water quality, water quantity, and water equity have always been critical to society and ecosystems. Climate change has made these questions more pressing and often, more complicated.

How are courts preparing for a changed and changing climate? What are courts doing now, and what are some planning to do? Are there best practices for making sure the judiciary has the necessary resources for resolving some of these complex problems related to water?

Join the Environmental Law Institute for this 75-minute webinar featuring the perspectives from three distinguished experts who will provide an in-depth exploration of these questions and more.
