RURAL LAW WEEK
 |
Rural Advocacy League is sponsoring the annual
Rural Law Week at The University of Montana School
of Law. This year's focus is environmental issues
and their effect on rural communities. The Rural
Advocacy League is committed to empowering rural
areas through effective legal advocacy, increasing
awareness of rural issues, and improving communication
between rural citizens and public policy makers.
The members of the League are devoted to identifying
and removing legal, economic, social, educational,
and cultural barriers to rural advancement. Above
all, the League is dedicated to assisting those
leaders who work to build and maintain strong
communities throughout rural America. |
Free and open to the public.
