This webinar will review substantive NEPA cases issued by United States Courts of Appeals in 2017.  The implications of the decisions and relevance to NEPA practitioners will be explained by our expert panelists.  The panelists will describe a selection of opinions issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals circuits and provide statistics regarding the NEPA appellate opinions, such as ten-year record of NEPA cases, organized by circuit, and by year.  The panelists will discuss the trends in the court opinions involving NEPA for 2017, with an emphasis on substantive NEPA practice.  Past trends include challenges to purpose and need, alternatives considered, public comment, scientific impact assessment methodologies, greenhouse gas impact assessment, incomplete or unavailable information, determination of significance, segmentation, duty to supplement, connected actions, federal actions, cumulative impact assessment, mitigation, monitoring and adaptive management.  Please join us for this popular webinar offering.
