Community Lawyering for Environmental Justice Part 6: Navigating Permitting Processes

An ELI Public Seminar

Join the Environmental Law Institute and the Pro Bono Clearinghouse for the sixth part of our CLE series centered around community lawyering for Environmental Justice. ELI’s Clearinghouse strives to ensure that communities with viable environmental legal matters get the representation they need, whether that be in a courtroom, in front of an agency, or in a more facilitative or consultative fashion. The Clearinghouse connects communities and individuals seeking representation with Clearinghouse members and at various collaborating organizations.

This installation of our Community Lawyering for Environmental Justice series will review how to advocate for communities in both federal and state permitting processes. Panelists will cover a number of permitting-related topics and share relevant examples from their combined many years of experience in the field.

This program will be followed by a happy hour.

Victoria Molyneaux, Public Interest Law Fellow, Environmental Law Institute, Moderator
