Albany Law Review to Host Fall Symposium on the Gulf Oil Spill Disaster
On October 14, 2010, the Albany Law Review is presenting a symposium exploring the aftermath of the continuing oil spill. The immediate legal impact of the oil spill lies in the countless pending and forthcoming actions against BP. We plan to explore lawsuits arising from the private sector, as well as civil and criminal claims from several state and federal government agencies. Dissecting these actions will not only help gauge the repercussions of causing such terrific economic and environmental harm, but it will outline how legal action can be used to shape the new laws and regulations that will undoubtedly arise from this ordeal.
