The PCL Symposium draws several hundred of the state’s leading environmental advocates, policymakers, elected officials, attorneys, consultants, public agencies, businesses, and community leaders. Together we will address a broad range of environmental issues and plan strategies for shaping future environmental laws in California. This daylong conference provides participants with an excellent opportunity to network. For attorneys, there are several sessions that qualify for continuing education (MCLE).
