Last week, Professor Heidi Gorovitz Robertson served as a Discussant at the “Permitting the Future” workshop at Case Western Reserve University. This event was jointly hosted by the Coleman P. Burke Center for Environmental Law at the Case Western Reserve School of Law and the Property and Environment Research Center.

The workshop delved into the legal and economic dimensions of current environmental and energy permitting and review requirements, contemplating whether these regulatory approaches might hinder environmental progress. Attended by a select group of 15 invited scholars from diverse fields, the event featured the examination of seven papers commissioned by the Burke Center. These papers were distributed to all participants in advance for in-depth discussion during the workshop.
