2008 California Water Law & Policy MCLE Conference

April 17-18, 2008
Hotel Nikko, San Francisco

Argent Communications Group is pleased to announce its 2008 "California Water Law & Policy" MCLE Conference. This conference marks the 24th California Water Law & Policy MCLE program produced by Argent Communications Group and the editors and advisors of California Water Law & Policy Reporter.

Two major challenges confront those concerned with water supply in California: water supply-related infrastructure concerns, and the specter of global climate change. Both have enormous implications for California’s already strained supply and delivery systems. This important conference covers the crucial legal, regulatory and policy issues affecting water supply in California’s major water supply systems and basins—the Bay-Delta, Colorado River and Klamath Basin— as well as policy and management issues related to climate change and water.

CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS

  • KEYNOTE ADDRESS “Delta Stewardship and the Law” by Hon. Lois Wolk, Assemblywoman, California State Assembly.
  • Co-chaired by Greg Wilkinson, Partner in the law firm of Best, Best & Krieger, and Gala Argent, publisher for 19 years of California Water Law & Policy Reporter.
  • NEW! Pre-Session: Overview of California Water Law. In order to maximize conference time, we have this year included the overview as pre-session, for those who are new to the practice area or feel the need for an update.

    TOPICS COVERED

  • Day One covers the pressing “Big Picture” Water Law Issues affecting water law, regulation and policy facing the state—as we always do. Following a practical panel on working with state and local regulatory agencies we, cover—in-depth—Delta issues, and Clean Water Act and Colorado River developments.
  • Day Two deals with both Climate Change and Water Supply. After a morning overview of climate change in California sets the stage, the program moves back to attorneys who address water issues on the Klamath Basin, recycled water regulation and conflicts around “paper water.“ We end with a panel discussing how firms and organizations are adapting to climate change concerns with new practice areas. Is this new practice area solely limited to environmental lawyers? What about water?

    The attached PDF brochure describes the topics and speakers in depth.
