Lawyers AND Activists
One of our objectives as to this conference is an equal amount of workshops and folks from the grassroots activist community as well as lawyers. We hope to not only get lawyers talking and communicating with other lawyers--but to facilitate education and workshops from non-lawyers. So if your with a grassroots group and/or are an activist this conference is for you. Matt Landon is doing a training on using a YSI conductivity meter in conjunction with field work (water testing). Additionally he is doing a training on an air monitoring system--it will be a hands on workshop where he is bringing in the equipment and will test in class.
So please spread the word among grassroots groups and activist.

CLE update
We are currently waiting for the CLE director for the Law School to return from break. Our understanding as of now is pretty much any state will be able to get CLE though you will be responsible for reporting and meeting your states individual requirements. The law school will report your attendance to your board--but some states have different requirements. In Tennessee we are required to get a copy of the schedule of the conference and turn it in as well. If your state has a requirement like that then you will have to keep a copy of the schedule. More information will be available on Sept 10.
We are also working on the details for a movie screening of "Coal Country" and dinner for sat night as a benefit for groups resisting strip mining.
