Critical to the success of any regional technology cluster is the presence of an engaged legal community.  The rapidly expanding roster of clean technology companies in San Diego has the benefit of a strong base of intellectual property legal talent which has served our life science and high tech hubs for more than a generation.  Like every other aspect of local technology advancement, our institutions of higher education have provided intellectual stimulus.  Recently the University of San Diego School of Law began publication of the San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law.  This is the first academic law journal in the United States dedicated to addressing the challenges surrounding both climate-change and energy law issues.  Volume 1 includes eleven articles in 344 pages.  Click here for the table of contents. 

 The University of San Diego’s Second Annual Climate & Energy Law Symposium will be held on April 9, 2010.  The program will explore various regulatory approaches being proposed and adopted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.  Click here for the agenda and more information.  The symposium is co-sponsored by the Energy Policy Initiatives Center (EPIC) and the San Diego Journal of Climate and Energy Law.
