<DIV>Greetings ANU colleagues, international law colleagues, environmental law colleagues, and human rights colleagues</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am <U><STRONG>proud</STRONG></U> to send out the initial DRAFT announcement by my current International Environmental Law students promoting an IEL Symposium that they are organising for Saturday, 28 May. Appropriate sponsorship badging still needs to be put in place, but I want to provide as early notice of the event as possible. The program, itself, is still being finalised and will be available shortly, but the event will include two plenary sessions with invited speakers and 2-3 sessions with concurrent workshops led by my students. Confirmed speakers include thus far:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>* Hon. Brian Preston, Chief Judge, NSW Land and Environment Court<BR>* Prof. Rob Fowler, IUCN Academy & University of South Australia<BR>* A/Prof. Erika Techera, Macquarie University<BR>* A/Prof. Michael Eburn, ANU<BR>* A/Prof. Don Anton, ANU<BR>* Ms Kirsty Ruddock, Environmental Defenders' Office (Sydney)<BR>* Mr. Aaron Wu, Senior Policy Office, International Division, Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Let me just say that this is an event that has been driven by my students from the outset and has grown organically. It has resulted in, amongst other things, the creation of the first ANU Environmental Law Student Society (Yeah!). Another goal of my students is to try to establish a national Australian Environmental Law Student Society so academic colleagues in Australia, please encourage your students are encouraged to attend. It's free.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For any colleague in Canberra on the day, you are more than welcome to attend and it would be a pleasure to see you. More details to follow. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Kind regards,</DIV>
<DIV>Don Anton</DIV>
