SUMMARY:20th Annual Norman Williams Distinguished Lecture in Land Use Planning and the Law: Navigating an Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:The Environmental Law Center at Vermont Law and Graduate School invites you to hear from Dr. Sarah Mills\, director for the Center for EmPowering Communities at the University of Michigan’s Graham Sustainability Institute. \n\n\n\nThe U.S. has only just begun to see the rapid expansion of renewable energy on our landscapes. Technological advancements and reductions in costs for renewable energy have energy models showing that wind and solar may impact as much as 15% of the continental U.S. land area by 2050. The lion’s share of the energy infrastructure that has already been built—and will need to be built—for this energy transformation is sited in rural places.  \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Mills will dig into how this infrastructure impacts rural residents and local governments. She will also discuss how a web of state policy choices—from siting/zoning authority to property tax policy to utility policy—shape the impacts that renewable infrastructure has on rural communities and the ability to deploy renewables with community goals in mind. \n\n\n\nThe livestream can be accessed via the button below or by clicking here.

SUMMARY:Veterans Advocate Training Program
DESCRIPTION:The South Royalton Legal Clinic’s Veterans Legal Assistance Project\, with the generous support of the Thomas M. French Veterans Advocacy Fund\, is honored to provide this introductory continuing legal education (CLE) program focused on preparing attorneys and appointed representatives to advocate for veterans. \n\n\n\nAttorneys and other advocates must be accredited to practice before the VA. Within 12 months of accreditation\, attorneys and other advocates are required to complete three hours of qualifying CLE credits. This program is offered to satisfy that requirement. It is also an excellent primer for any attorney considering representing veterans before the VA. \n\n\n\nThis program—which is eligible for up to four Vermont CLE credits—will provide an introduction to advocating for veterans before the VA\, a review of the VA benefits appeals process\, and an update on current trends in veterans advocacy. New this year\, we are offering an extra session on VA compensation claims that will highlight initiation\, review\, evidence development\, and decisions. This session is highly recommended for any new-to-VA-law practitioner or advocate. \n\n\n\nAttorneys and other advocates who become accredited will be listed on a national VA list\, and are entitled to represent veterans in their initial claims for VA benefits on a pro bono basis\, and on VA benefits appeals for attorney’s fees. \n\n\n\nThe session is being offered free of charge to attorneys and appointed representatives in exchange for their commitment to assist at least one pro bono VA benefits client in the year following the program. \n\n\n\nPlease register in advance by clicking here or emailing communications@vermontlaw.edu. \n\n\n\nSCHEDULE:8 a.m. In-Person Registration Opens \n\n\n\n8:30 a.m. VA Benefits: Nuts and BoltsDon Hayes JD’10\, South Royalton Legal Clinic\, VLGS \n\n\n\n9:30 a.m. Working Claims at the RO: Evidence Development and AppealsTim Mercer\, Esq.\, The Bluestein Group \n\n\n\n10:30 a.m. Break \n\n\n\n11 a.m. Obtaining a Character of Service Determination: Review of New StandardsAndrew Thibault JD’22\, The Bluestein Group \n\n\n\n12 p.m. Remarks from Thomas French \n\n\n\n12:10 p.m. Practitioner Q&A \n\n\n\n12:30 p.m. Lunch \n\n\n\n1 p.m. Beyond the RO: Appellate Process from CAVC to the Supreme CourtDavid Giza\, Esq.\, Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick LTD
