Commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Superfund program with analysis of its past, present, and future.

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Superfund program, the Environmental Law Institute and Beveridge & Diamond organized two in-depth panel discussions of the past, present, and future of the Superfund program with former EPA and DOJ officials and private practitioners.
