On March 13, ELS and the Environmental Law Journal hosted a symposium entitled The New Regulatory Climate, which will focus on greenhouse gas regulation in the Obama Administration. Thanks to generous from funding from NYU Law's Symposium Funding Committee, ELS, the SBA, and LS Power, we are delighted to be able to host a luncheon that will allow students to network with symposium speakers and event attendees. Over 150 guests have registered for the event and luncheon, including NYU students, faculty and alumni; partners at law firms all over the city; government employees from agencies such the EPA, the NY Attorney General's Office & the New York City Law Department; staffers at utility companies such as ConEdison; and leaders at area NGOs.
