Albany Law Review Presents: Big Oil, Big Consequences, and the Big Unknown: Exploring the Legal, Regulatory and Environmental Impact of the Gulf Oil Spill
Posted by ITS under Law Review, Special EventsNo Comments
On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion took the lives of 11 workers, and injured 17 others. Attention to this devastation quickly turned to a much larger issue: the countless barrels of crude oil flowing unencumbered into the Gulf of Mexico. BP has estimated that approximately 100,000 barrels per day have been flowing into the Gulf’s vibrant ecosystem.
On October 14, 2010 in the Dean Alexander Moot Court Room the Albany Law Review presented a symposium exploring the aftermath of the continuing oil spill.
