April 4: Idaho Law Review symposium: Resilient Cities in Boise and live on the Internet!

The 2014 University of Idaho Law Review symposium, Resilient Cities:  Environment | Economy | Equity, will be held in Boise, Idaho on April 4, 2014. The symposium will focus on defining city resilience, as well as cutting-edge, non-traditional legal approaches to implementing environmental and social projects that promote city resilience.  If you'll be in Boise on April 4, stop on by and register here!

As with last year, we will be simulcasting the symposium on the Internet and also archiving it on-line.  Non-Idaho attorneys can watch remotely and receive a certificate of attendance that may permit an attorney to receive CLEs in other states (many states permit this, but we have not catalogued every state that permits remote CLE viewing).  If you have any questions on this option, please contact me at millers at uidaho dot edu and I'll get you to the right place.

I am honored to be the faculty advisor for the Idaho Law Review symposium for the second year in a row and am really looking forward to an amazing event.
