About the Program

This program introduces attorneys to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), focusing on its purpose, procedural framework, and key compliance requirements. It covers essential steps, including environmental review and public participation, while offering practical tools for navigating CEQA effectively. The program also examines the recent state and local executive orders and their impact on rebuilding efforts in wildfire-devastated areas of Los Angeles, highlighting the interplay between emergency responses and CEQA compliance in light of this new order.

Designed for attorneys new to CEQA or seeking a refresher, this webinar equips participants with the knowledge to confidently advise clients and navigate California's essential environmental law.

This program is presented by the Environmental Law section. Find out more about the section at BHBA.org.
