Join University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law for a timely webinar examining how endangered species protections function at both the federal and state levels — and what recent legislative developments mean for policy, compliance, and environmental decision-making. Guest speaker Kim Delfino, an environmental policy advocate, attorney, and President and Founder of Earth Advocacy, will explore the federal–state framework for species protection under the Endangered Species Act, with a focused discussion on California’s AB 1319. Drawing on her experience working at the intersection of law, policy, and environmental advocacy, Kim will examine how state legislation interacts with federal law and what this means in practice for agencies, policymakers, and regulated entities. This webinar is designed for professionals interested in environmental law, policy, government, sustainability, and compliance, and offers a preview of the applied legal and regulatory issues explored in McGeorge’s Master of Science in Law (MSL) program. 

Topics include: 

• The Endangered Species Act and federal–state authority
• California’s AB 1319 and its policy implications
• Legal and compliance considerations in species protection
• Applying environmental law knowledge in professional, non-JD roles.
