Kronick Shareholder Holly Roberson is participating in a panel at the April 16th conference, “CEQA at 50: Assessing the History & Charting the Future of the California Environmental Quality Act,” organized by Prof. Rick Frank and hosted by the UC Davis School of Law, California Environmental Law & Policy Center. Prominent speakers include the Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court Hon. Tani Cantil-Sakauye, the Hon. Ronald Robie, of the California Court of Appeal, Third Appellate District, and the Secretary of the California Natural Resources Agency Wade Crowfoot. The complete agenda can be found here.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is California’s most overarching, longstanding, and controversial environmental law. At fifty-one years old this year, CEQA has evolved considerably over the past half-century. “CEQA at 50” brings together an impressive array of CEQA experts from the worlds of public policy, state and local government, the planning and development community, private law practice, and academia.
Ms. Roberson’s panel session will focus on CEQA and its effects on underserved communities, specifically the “Ongoing Evolution of Tribal Cultural Resources and Equity Issues in CEQA.” She will share her insight on what the future holds for tribal consultation and tribal cultural resources issues in CEQA, and what CEQA practitioners should consider when working on projects that involve tribal cultural resources.
Ms. Roberson is honored to present with her esteemed co-panelists, including Ms. Shana Lazerow with Communities for a Better Environment, and Ms. Andrea Ruiz-Esquide, Deputy City Attorney for the City of San Francisco. The panel will be moderated by Mr. Tim Taylor, a Partner at Stoel Rives LLP.
