Pittsburgh is rapidly undergoing a renaissance, transforming into one of the nation’s leaders in environmental and “green” initiatives. The Section chose Pittsburgh as the site of the 15th Section Fall Meeting for the unique offerings of the area as well as its affordability and accessibility for our meeting attendees. The meeting offers a blend of returning and new features: a “Day of Service” working with local school children; The Basic Practice Series; tracts of cutting-edge educational programs; and a host of networking opportunities at local venues including The Warhol Museum and the Carnegie Science Center. Mark your calendar and join us at the 15th Section Fall Meeting.

There are several ways that law students can work as volunteers at the Section Fall Meeting. In exchange, the Section offers opportunities for students to participate free of charge in education programs taking place at the meeting. To inquire, please contact Brooke Loucks, Assistant Director at (312) 988-5791.

Attendees of the 15th Section Fall Meeting and the Basic Practice Series will be able to purchase Section books at a special meeting discount. Plan to take advantage of this opportunity to update your library with valuable resources—new titles and best sellers. For information regarding Section books, visit http://www.abanet.org/environ/.
