Fedder Lecture & Wine Tasting
The Environmental Law Program combined two annual events into
one
wonderful evening in 2014. David Doniger, director and senior
attorney for
the Natural Resources Defense Council’s (NRDC) climate and clean
air program,
gave the Fedder Lecture focusing on current climate change
policy. After the lecture, alumni, students, environmental
law professionals, and friends of the program enjoyed fine wine
and good
conversation at the 23rd Annual Wine Tasting. Both events were
supported by
the Fedder Environmental Fund.
