BLOWOUT: LEGAL LEGACY OF THE DEEPWATER HORIZON CATASTROPHE
APRIL 13, 2011
Roger Williams University School of Law
Bristol, Rhode Island
One of our nation's worst environmental and human disasters began on April 20, 2010 when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded, killing 11 people and injuring 17 others, and spilling millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. What is the state of the law one year later as the human and environmental toll rises? This conference will convene national leaders, elected officials and legal experts to examine the law's response to this calamity to date and consider the future legal legacy. We will consider issues of tort liability, natural resource damages, and changes to law and regulation contemplated by Congress and the President's National Commission.
An agenda, registration and additional information is available at http://law.rwu.edu/academics/institutes-programs/marine-affairs-institute/symposia/april-2011-deepwater-horizon-catastr.
