Environmental Actions: The Obama Administration's First Policy Changes (Audio-only)
Apr. 22, 2009Overview
April 22, 2009, 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm (E.D.T.)
Environmental policy was a key issue during the 2008 presidential campaign, and Senator Obama pledged a major change in U.S. environmental policy. In his first week in office, President Obama began to deliver on this pledge by issuing two directives on climate change. This One-Hour Briefing will provide an in-depth analysis of the actions that the Obama Administration has taken in this important policy area between Inauguration Day and the day of the briefing.

- Air emissions from motor vehicles
- Air pollution regulation of power plants and other stationary sources
- Engagement in international negotiations

- Public lands management

1Indiana: Considered a distance education course. There is a 6 credit limit per year.
2 New York: Newly admitted attorneys may not take non-transitional course formats such as on-demand audio or video programs or live webcasts for CLE credit. Newly admitted attorneys not practicing law in the United States, however, may earn 12 transitional credits in non-traditional formats.
3 Pennsylvania: A live webcast may be viewed individually or in a group setting. Credit may be granted to an attorney who views a live webcast individually. There is a 4.0 credit limit per year for this type of viewing. A live webcast viewed in a group setting receives live participatory credit if the program is open to the public and advertised at least 30 days prior to the program. Live webcasts viewed in a group setting that do not advertise at least 30 days prior the program will be considered "in-house", and therefore denied credit.
Running time and CLE credit hours are not necessarily the same. Please be aware that many states do not permit credit for luncheon speakers.
Note that some states limit the number of credit hours attorneys may claim for online CLE activities, and state rules vary with regard to whether online CLE activities qualify for participatory or self-study credits. For more information, refer to your state CLE website or call Customer Service at (800) 260-4PLI (4754) or email: info@pli.edu.
If you have already received credit for attending some or the entire program, please be aware that state administrators do not permit you to accrue additional credit for repeat viewing even if an additional credit certificate is subsequently issued.
