Environmental Law
Section Focus
The Environmental Law Section offers monthly CLE presentations on subjects relevant to environmental regulation, conservation, and enforcement, both at the national and local level. Speakers include, among others, elected officials, regulators, industry executives, and environmental entrepreneurs. The ELS also sponsors educational events in conjunction with numerous state agencies, including the Houston Ship Channel Boat Patrol. The ELS ordinarily holds lunch meetings on the third Wednesday of the month.
