For the first time in eight years, New Jersey Lawyer has dedicated an edition to environmental law, the growth of the practice and critical environmental issues affecting New Jersey residents.
The June magazine, published by the New Jersey State Bar Association, features eight articles on topics of climate change, sustainability, environmental justice, developments in emerging contaminants and natural resource damage claims that affect many stakeholders. The articles explore these and other key issues that impact not only environmental law practitioners, but all members of the legal community. Special contributors to the edition include New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Shawn M. LaTourette and state Senator Bob Smith.
The magazine also provides practice tips on how attorneys can destress by practicing good breathing, highlights from the NJSBA’s Annual Meeting and Convention in Atlantic City and a word from new NJSBA President William H. Mergner Jr. on his goals for the upcoming year.
