On Thursday, November 16, 2023, the University of Maryland Agriculture Law Education Initiative will hold the 2023 Annual Agricultural and Environmental Law Conference at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Annapolis. From 12:45 pm–1:50 pm, Center Staff Attorney Brook Duer will present, “HPAI: How Can We Miss You, If You Won’t Go Away?” as part of the conference. 

From the Conference Website:

As High Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) has moved from pandemic to endemic, what can we learn to manage poultry operations in the region better? Understanding the USDA process, how claims are paid, and how to limit the spread of HPAI are all important. This session will feature a discussion on the Pennsylvania experience with HPAI, the Maryland experience of being on-site of an outbreak, how biosecurity is important in preventing the spread (and limiting potential legal liability), and finally, understanding the USDA process for paying on claims related to HPAI.

Registration is available on the Conference Website.
