Jimmy Alan Hall Honored for 27 years of Service

On April 12, 2012, representatives from our Section had a wonderful opportunity to honor Jimmy Alan Hall, the immediate past Editor-in-Chief of the Texas Environmental Law Journal (TELJ), at the annual banquet of the TELJ students from The University of Texas School of Law. We presented a plaque to Mr. Hall, which expressed the Section’s great appreciation for his 27 years of service as the Editor-in-Chief of the TEJJ.

 
ENRLS Chair Cindy Smiley presents Jimmy Alan Hall with a plaque recognizing his 27 years of service as the EIC of the Texas Environmental Law Journal.  

In addition, the TELJ students have created a Student Note Award to honor Mr. Hall, and the names of the Award recipients will be included on a new plaque at the UT Law School. The TELJ announced that Ms. Catherine Bennett is the first recipient of the Jimmy Alan Hall Student Note Award.

The 24th annual Texas Environmental Superconference, generally acknowledged by attendees as the most entertaining and informative of environmental conferences, will be held on Thursday and Friday – August 2-3, 2012 – in Austin at the Four Seasons Hotel. This year's conference is entitled "The Good, Bad, and Ugly," and the theme is western movies. The Wednesday night course will be a nuts and bolts on environmental litigation. So mark your calendars!


Highlights fromTexas Environmental Superconference!  With special appearances by Thing 1 and Thing 2, not to mention the Grinch and several Cat-in-the-Hat wannabees, the Texas Environmental Superconference surpassed all expectations.  This year’s conference was entitled “Oh, the Places We’ll Go.” Our theme, of course, was Dr. Seuss.

The award-winning Texas Environmental Superconference was held August
4-5, 2011 at the Austin Four Seasons Hotel.
