What Can Environmental Lawyers Expect from the New Trump Administration and Congress?
Recorded on February 14, 2017

Program Overview:
The year 2017 marks the beginning of what is sure to be a shift in federal environmental law and policy.  How the federal government will address climate change, natural resource development, public lands conservation, energy, and countless other environmental and energy issues is more uncertain now than at any time in recent memory.  While the objectives and priorities of the Trump administration and the Republican-led Congress will likely be different than the objectives of the previous administration, can a sea-change occur overnight?  What opportunities and limits exist for overturning existing laws and policies, and for writing and implementing new ones? 

Join us for a webinar with our three distinguished panelists, who have written and lectured extensively on the prognosis for federal environmental law and policy over the next few years.  Our panelists will offer their thoughts, focusing specifically on the likely fate of recent Obama administration rule and policy changes such as the Clean Power Plan, Public Land Planning 2.0, species mitigation, federal coal leasing, methane regulations for oil and gas.  They will also answer questions from audience members.
