Confirmed speakers include some of the nation’s leading energy law scholars. In addition, an emerging scholars’ panel will provide a forum for younger voices, and a panel on careers in energy law will engage law school students.

Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits are available through in-person attendance for attorneys licensed in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. CLE credits will also be available for remote viewing by Internet broadcast for attorneys in the same states, except Utah. Funding for the symposium series is provided by the Center for Advanced Energy Studies. The collaborating institutions plan to hold a large symposium open to the public and suitable for scholars, industry professionals and practicing lawyers every other year. In alternate years, the series will convene a smaller academic roundtable on topics identified during the larger gathering. Short essays produced by symposium speakers will be published in the 2015 natural resources and environmental law edition of the Idaho Law Review.
