The Red Clay Conference is an annual environmental law conference that is entirely student-organized by students of the University of Georgia School of Law. The Conference aims to increase public awareness of environmental issues of regional, national, and international significance through a series of educational presentations and open forum discussions. It provides CLE (Continuing Legal Education) credits to attorneys registered with the State Bar of Georgia, but also welcomes all other interested groups and members of the public.
