Freshe n and sharpen skills you need to prevail in today?s environmental litigat ion Learn how to make litigation more efficient and effective, through co st control and litigation alternatives See demonstrations of typical envi ronmental trial issues by experienced litigators Explore your litigation issues with faculty members in informal Clinical Discussion Sessions This advanced course of study, now in its 37th year, provides a unique opport unity for private and public-sector environmental lawyers to refine their litigation skills by understanding better how litigation problems, subst antive environmental law, and science relate to each other. This year?s p rogram focuses on: Evidentiary Issues Relating to Technical Data Electron ic Discovery in Environmental Litigation Experts in Environmental Litigat ion Citizen Suits and Defenses against Them NEPA Litigation This practica l course in environmental advocacy concentrates on the advanced skills ne cessary to prevail before administrative and judicial forums in the vario us environmental litigations, including CERCLA, NEPA, and the judicial re view of agency action. The course uses specifically-prepared materials, l ectures, and faculty demonstrations. The faculty is drawn from some of th e principal constituencies involved in environmental disputes: private fi rms representing plaintiffs or defendants, public-interest groups, enviro nmental scientists, the Environmental Enforcement Section of the U.S. Dep artment of Justice, and the New York State Department of Environmental Co nservation. It also includes two sitting U.S. Magistrate Judges, a former U.S. Magistrate Judge, and a leading academic. The faculty members who a ppear as expert witnesses in the demonstrations also provide valuable ins ights on the relationship between lawyers and technical consultants and w itnesses. A hallmark of this program over the years has been the way the registrants and the faculty have interacted, not just informally, but esp ecially during program sessions. ?Clinical Discussions? allow registrants to explore their particular litigation problems with faculty members on an informal basis. Time is reserved throughout the program for the facult y to address registrants? questions and to assist them in any other ways that might render the course more productive for their practices. What Yo u Will Learn? The course starts with an analysis of evidentiary issues in environmental cases and concludes with a discussion of lessons learned f rom the ?big? cases; along the way, it explores the use of demonstrative evidence, discovery problems, and the examination of experts. The course does not concentrate on substantive law; rather, the procedural problems in all environmental litigation, both public and private, receive attenti on in the context of discovery, expert proof, and citizen suit litigation . For example, the admission of expert testimony under Daubert and its pr ogeny is reviewed both in a procedural context and in the proof of specif ic subjects, such as in the simulation of a trial involving the siting of an alternative energy facility. In addition to the problems inherent in plenary litigation, difficult issues continue to arise under NEPA and oth er informal agency decisions, such as those arising under federal and sta te wetland laws. The procedural and associated issues relating to these a ctions receive attention throughout the program. Ethical issues, some of which are unique to environmental litigation, are explored from a practic al litigation standpoint. This year?s other special topics include: Judic ial Review of Agency Action Effective Advocacy in Air, Water, and Hazardo us Waste Litigation Applications for TROs and Preliminary Injunctions Cur rent and Emerging Enforcement Trends and Responses Anatomy of a Hazardous Material Litigation Trial of an Alternative Energy Siting Case Ethics in Environmental Litigation Program Schedule: Anatomy of a Hazardous Materi al Litigation \n\n\n\nQuestions?
