The seaside town of Yachats, Oregon, will host E-LAW advocates from around the world for the 2001 E-LAW Annual International Meeting, February 25-28. This exciting gathering of the world`s leading grassroots advocates will be held back-to-back with the 2001 Public Interest Environmental Law Conference at the University of Oregon School of Law.

E-LAW annual meetings provide the world`s leading public interest lawyers and scientists an opportunity to share legal and scientific resources, face-to-face. Advocates get the resources and support they need to take on big polluters, and win. This collaboration is posted daily in E-LAW`s electronic network, so advocates in 60 countries around the world can participate.

Last year, E-LAW`s annual meeting was held in Arusha, Tanzania, hosted by the Lawyers` Environmental Action Team. That meeting included 47 advocates from 27 countries. Yachats 2001 promises an even larger turnout.

Many E-LAW advocates will participate in the University of Oregon`s Public Interest Environmental Law Conference (PIELC), open to the public, March 1 - 4, 2001. For more information on the PIELC, see: www.pielc.uoregon.edu.
