Welcome to the Environmental Litigation Committee website. Our Committee is dedicated to helping its members become better environmental litigators. We believe that we are one of the most collegial and friendly committees in the ABA, and that our members truly benefit from the relationships they develop with other lawyers whose practices are focused on environmental matters.

We are large enough to put on excellent and informative education programs, while being small enough that no one feels left out or lost in the crowd. Year after year the Committee identifies the legal issues and topics that are at the forefront of the practice and brings together lawyers, judges, consultants and in-house counsel to teach and inform our members.

If you are not already a member of the Environmental Litigation Committee, we invite you to join us.
