Legal, Regulatory Aspects of Fossil Fuel Energy Production Topic of October 26 Program at Rutgers Law School–Newark

October 12, 2010

NEWARK, NJ – Do New Jersey residents face higher energy prices because of the legal and regulatory controls on deep water oil and gas drilling? Are current shale gas drilling laws and regulations sufficient to protect sensitive watersheds? Does cap and trade legislation have a future?

These are among the topics to be discussed by legal, regulatory and technology experts at Rutgers School of Law–Newark on Tuesday, October 26, 2010 from 5:30-7:30 pm. “Drill Baby, Drill: The Legal and Legislative Terrain for Fossil Fuel Energy Production” is the first in a series of energy law programs offered by the school’s Institute for Professional Education.

Pre-registration is required. The program is free for those not seeking Continuing Legal Education credit. For full registration details, visit http://law.newark.rutgers.edu/IPE.
