ALEI hosts an Agricultural and Environmental Law Conference each November. This event attracts agricultural professionals, attorneys, educators, environmentalists, farmers, policymakers, and students to discuss the complex intersection of environmental regulation and agriculture in Maryland. ALEI prides itself on hosting an event that brings farming and conservation experts together in a forum that allows for an exchange of ideas and education for conference attendees on current legal topics of interest.
Previous year’s conferences have featured topics such as agritourism, aquaculture leasing, anaerobic digesters, alternative energy on the farm, developing topics in agriculture and the environment, and nutrient management. Due to ongoing uncertainty related to the global pandemic, ALEI is moving our annual conference online. We hope you will join us in this new endeavor! The conference will be offered over the course of three weeks with six sessions as follows:
