To commemorate Earth Day, Paul Hastings LLP
hosted a panel discussion on April 18, 2017, featuring
three prominent attorneys with extensive and diverse
experience in environmental counseling and litigation.
The panelists reflected on the transition to the
Trump Administration, and what it might mean for
long-standing issues of federalism, globalization, private
environmental governance, and enforcement and
compliance. Below, we present a transcript of the discussion,
which has been edited for style, clarity, and
space considerations.
