Policymakers and legal scholars from four continents will highlight creative strategies for promoting environmental protection throughout the world. Four panels will examine the concept of environmental responsibility, the transformation of environmental law and policy in the United States and abroad, creative mechanisms for enhancing global environmental accountability, and the role of the public in assuring environmental accountability. Speakers will include environmental scholars from five countries and representatives of the National Wildlife Federation, Natural Resources Defense Council, Earthrights International, Environmental Defense Fund, and Centers for Disease Control. The symposium was established by a gift to the School's Environmental Law Program from the Baltimore law firm of Ward, Kershaw and Minton. The firm, founded in 1984, specializes in complex civil litigation, including class actions and environmental lawsuits.
