Gasland Screening and Q&A w/Director, 9/29, Central Park‏

Gasland is a movie about fracking and its actual and potential effects on drinking water, our environment and the tectonic plates. The director will be having a screening and a question and answer session after the screening on Wednesday September 29, 2010 at the Arsenal Gallery - 830 5th Avenue at East 64th St.

Be sure to get your tickets early. Not only is this a great movie, but it has also been known to cause a ton of controversy among environmentalists, the government, and non believers. Please see this interesting article in the Huffington Post about the governments reaction to Gasland moviegoers in PA: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alison-rose-levy/guess-what-seeing-a-movie_b_717241.htmlk

Environment, Energy and Resource Law Summit in New Orleans (9/29-10/2)

The American Bar Association Section of Environment, Energy and Resources Law (ABA-SEER) will be hosting its 18th annual Fall Summit in New Orleans this year (September 29-October 2).

As a 2nd year law student, I attended last year's Falls Summit in Baltimore and it was an incredible experience. I met attorneys from many fields, both private and public, and established great connections with some of today's preeminent environmental law leaders.

I highly recommend attending this conference if you're at all interested in environmental, energy or resource law. The CLE's and "break-out" sessions are great, touching upon some of the most important developments in the field of environmental law. This year's Summit should be particularly special because of the recent BP Oil Disaster that devastated the Gulf Region. I'm sure ABA-SEER will have great programming addressing the disaster, what we can do as attorneys (and law students) to help and what are the most important "lessons learned".

If you're interested in attending as a Law Student Volunteer, please contact Julie Connell (connellj@staff.abanet.org) for more information, or check out the Summit website (http://www.abanet.org/environ/fallmeet/2010/home.shtml).

NoLa is one of my favorite cities, so I'm looking forward to this one.
