Mark your calendars for October 20 – 23, 2011. That’s when the State Bar of California will present its 20th Anniversary Environmental Law Conference at Yosemite® (yes, it is trademarked), at the Tenaya Lodge in Fish Camp, California.
Along with U.C. Berkeley law professor Joseph Sax and Deputy California Attorney General Daniel L. Siegel, I will be speaking about “Regulatory Takings: Looking Back and Looking Forward.”
We will be discussing the seminal regulatory takings cases from the past 20 years. “The panelists, who have been involved in several of the most significant takings cases since even before the founding of the annual Yosemite Environmental Law Conference twenty years ago, will highlight key decisions, offer their views on the evolution of takings law, and discuss cutting-edge issues raised by more recent court decisions.” E. Clement Shute will moderate the panel discussion.
The Yosemite program, sponsored by the CSB’s Environmental Law Section, is “nationally recognized as the largest and most prestigious gathering in California of leaders in environmental, land use, and natural resources law.”
The entire program looks excellent, and the faculty the planning chairs have assembled is stellar. I plan on sitting in on many of the other sessions over the four days of the conference, getting my MCLE on. Get the complete program brochure here.
You can also register on line here. If you plan on attending, make your hotel reservations now, as I understand the conference hotel fills up fast, and the only alternative in Fish Camp is to pitch your tent on the lawn (I kid, I kid).
