Ice Miller partner Freedom Smith will be presenting an on-demand CLE program titled "What is Environmental Justice? " presented by the Indiana State Bar Association Environmental Law Section. This seminar is designed for Environmental Law attorneys and anyone interested in learning more. 

About the Event

Environmental law and environmental justice historically emerged along paths that sought to ensure everyone had access to a clean and healthy environment regardless of race, social status, or economics.  While environmental law arose to address the harmful impacts of the environment on people, environmental justice, which focuses on disproportionate harms on certain populations, in many ways has lagged behind traditional notions of environmental law.  This CLE will involve a general overview of environmental justice, where the paths of traditional environmental law and environmental justice have diverged, and current efforts and drivers to prioritize environmental justice.

This program is the first in a series regarding environmental law and justice. Watch part two here.
