From jparkerflynn at law.fsu.edu Mon Jan 6 13:50:33 2025 From: jparkerflynn at law.fsu.edu (James Parker-Flynn) Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2025 18:50:33 +0000 Subject: [Law-envtlcert] Conference Opportunity: New Directions in Environmental Law 2025 Conference In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello Environmental Law Students, I hope you all had a restful break. Please see this link to learn more about attending the 2025 New Directions in Environmental Law (NDEL) Conference, being held at the Yale Law School in February. The 2025 Conference will focus on changes and emerging issues in environmental law. As the NDEL Outreach Coordinator has told us: "The past year has brought many challenges and opportunities to the field of environmental law: U.S. courts reversed central doctrines of Administrative Law, communities around the globe have increasingly felt the consequences of the climate crisis, and international courts began issuing advisory opinions on climate change. By bringing together practitioners, scholars, activists, and law students, we anticipate that NDEL 2025 will provide participants with opportunities for progressive conversation and change."
