28th Annual Public Interest Environmental Law Conference

John Bonine at University of Oregon School of Law announces their 28th annual PIELC conference.  From the conference website:

Continuing economic uncertainty is merging with environmental and social degradation, and humanity faces both a mounting crisis and a dawning opportunity. As environmental activists, we must recover from the damage inflicted on our communities, our nations, and our planet, renew our determination for and commitment to positive change, and reimagine how we shall move forward into the new century and toward future generations.
