About the 50th Spring Conference on Environmental Law
Since 1971, the Spring Conference has been a leading forum for the discussion of current issues in environmental, energy, and resources law. The milestone 50-year anniversary of the Spring Conference provides an occasion to reflect on the past, examine the present, and look toward the future of the profession. Along the way, we will be celebrating 50 years of the conference’s unique influence on environmental law and the history, stories, and experiences that contribute to its legacy.
In addition to reflecting on where environmental law stands 50 years on, the conference will have a special focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, and environmental justice in the practice of law. This year’s virtual conference takes place April 27-30.
