CEQA: California Environmental Quality Act Lorman Education ServicesSan Francisco, CA CEQA compliance is an uphill battle – do you know what you’re up against?
The California Environmental Quality Act is the cornerstone of the state’s environmental protection laws. CEQA is enforced by litigation and therefore tends to be a focus for lawsuits challenging the land use decisions of public agencies. Developing strategies for surviving potential litigation is an important aspect of preparing good CEQA documents.
Attend this seminar and get the tools you need to develop effective CEQA compliance strategies. We will discuss the basics of preparing legally defensible CEQA documents – including practical advice on drafting documents. Register today to learn about recent case law developments and procedural pitfalls to avoid.
