Environmental Justice and the Southern Environmental Law Center

Julie Furr Youngman is a senior attorney with the Southern Environmental Law Center, where she focuses on litigation in state and federal courts. Her cases involve protecting water quality and quantity, coastal resources, and endangered species, and promoting environmental justice. Her career has spanned military service, private law practice, and teaching law at Washington & Lee University, where among other things she directed the university’s interdisciplinary program in Law, Justice and Society. She holds a BS, MA from the School of the Environment, and JD, all from Duke University.  Ms.  Youngman will speak about environmental justice and how principles of justice and fairness manifest in a variety of types of environmental cases, using several of her ongoing matters as a backdrop: industrial swine operations, rules that affect development at the coast, and water quality protections.
