    The Philip H. Corboy Lecture in Advocacy: Community Environmental Concerns and Environmental Justice Advocacy

    In Chicago, the Great Lakes Region, and throughout the country, communities of color are disproportionately exposed to environmental hazards. When harm occurs, what legal remedies are available? Our distinguished panel will discuss how environmental harms disproportionately impact communities of color, civil and criminal enforcement of environmental laws, and what has and can be done to promote environmental justice.
