This year's program focuses on issues of equity and inclusion in land use planning and law. Speakers practicing in land use and zoning law and planning throughout North Carolina provide the latest legislative and case law updates and discuss key issues as we begin 2022.

Explore various aspects of this theme in land use regulations and practices as well as in the general practice of law.

Learn from local NC governments about changes in zoning regulations aimed at creating a greater diversity of housing types in neighborhoods and about opportunities to increase public participation through remote meetings. A NC nonprofit shares its efforts to address land loss due to the issue of heirs property ownership.

Also, find out what private and public law practices are doing to increase diversity, equity and inclusion, both in the legal profession and in their legal practice.
