Cultural Resources Law: Consulting with Tribes on Energy Projects

This conference, by the Tribal Law Institute CLE International, provides legal and business training in energy development and tribal consultation. Attendees will join fellow professionals from around the country, and hear perspectives from Tribal governments, federal and state governments, industry professionals, and consultants, and learn new creative and collaborative approaches to problem-solving.
