Are you a consultant or lawyer new to the field of Environmental Law? Or perhaps you are an experienced practitioner in need of a refresher? Either way, this class is a MUST for you! Learn environmental law from the best minds in the business! This practical, two-day program assembles some of New Jersey’s top environmental experts to help you better understand how to comply with local, state and federal environmental laws and regulations. Environmental law is a maze of overlapping, and sometimes conflicting, jurisdictions and mandates from many levels of government. This course will help you better plan for, and comply with, those mandates by understanding the organizational structures and legal tools for administering and enforcing environmental laws. You’ll learn about the various state and federal water, air, land-use and solid and hazardous waste regulations. You’ll also hear about the requirements, strategies and funding opportunities to remediate and redevelop contaminated properties.
