Event Details

To celebrate Earth Day this year, the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia is hosting Earth Day Every Day: Extending Environmental Justice to All, a training session on Environmental Justice for environmental lawyers, advocates and activists. 

The session will discuss the history of the EJ movement (with special attention paid to local cases in Chester, Camden, and Philadelphia), current legal theories for Environmental Justice litigation, and using non-litigation strategies such as community organizing, advocacy, and negotiation to achieve EJ goals. This session will provide you with concrete tools for protecting EJ communities from further environmental abuse and for crafting a positive vision for their economic and environmental revitalization.

Pending approval from the PA CLE Board, 3.5 CLE credits will be available for this session.

The mission of the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia is to use high impact legal strategies to improve the well-being and life prospects of the Philadelphia region’s most vulnerable populations by assuring that they have access to the resources and services that all of us need to lead our lives.

The Law Center opened its doors in 1969 as one of the eight original affiliates of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.

In 1974 leaders of the Philadelphia Bar Association incorporated the Law Center as an independent nonprofit in order to ensure the continuation of its focus on systemic change by a dedicated staff of public interest attorneys.
