This looks interesting. Climate change seems to arouse such strong feelings. I’d love to see these advocates in action. (It is also free CLE and I always love that).
A Mock Supreme Court Argument on Climate Change
University of Houston School of Law

Afterwards, there will be a moderated discussion by the participants and questions from the audience.
