| Teaching Consumer Law Conference
“Teaching Consumer Law in a Changing Environment”
Santa Fe, New Mexico
May 17-18, 2024
Preceded by the Law School Consumer Clinic Conference on May 16 |
|
| The Center for Consumer Law & Economic Justice at the UC Berkeley School of Law and The Center for Consumer Law at the University of Houston Law Center are proud to present the thirteenth biennial international Teaching Consumer Law Conference. The conference is presented in cooperation with the University of New Mexico School of Law and the National Association of Consumer Advocates.
As in the past, the Teaching Conference has combined forces with the Law School Consumer Clinic Conference – so the program will begin with a full day devoted exclusively to consumer clinical education. There is a separate registration form for the Clinic Conference. If you are interested in or have questions about the Clinic Conference on May 16, please email Ted Mermin
(tmermin@law.berkeley.edu) and/or Ben Hiebert (ben.hiebert@law.berkeley.edu).
This year’s subject is “Teaching Consumer Law in a Changing Environment.” The Conference will be held at the Drury Hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the “City Different,” one of the oldest and most interesting cities in the United States.
Please review the information below carefully, and let us know if you have any questions.
We look forward to seeing you in Santa Fe in May.
