University of Wyoming College of Law Professor Tara K. Righetti will visit LSU Law on Tuesday, Nov. 14, to present on carbon capture at the 2023 Liskow Visiting Professor in Energy Law Lecture.
Righetti’s lecture, “Land & Regulatory Consequences of Carbon Sequestration Well Classifications,” will take place from 5 to 6 p.m. in the Robinson Courtroom, with a reception to follow. The event is free and open to the public, parking will be available onsite, and attendees can earn one Louisiana CLE hour.
Prior to joining the University of Wyoming College of Law in 2014, Righetti served in legal and executive roles in a privately owned upstream oil and gas company. She currently holds the Occidental Chair in Energy and Environmental Policy at the School of Energy Resources and the Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources.
Righetti’s research focuses on subsurface property law and administrative regulation of energy development and industrial decarbonization technologies, including nuclear energy and carbon capture and storage. Righetti teaches oil and gas law, climate law, the governance and regulation of geoengineering, and advanced energy technologies.
The Liskow Visiting Professor in Energy Law Lecture was established in 2013 through an endowed gift from the Liskow law firm. The professorship provides funds to bring distinguished scholars in energy law and closely related fields to LSU Law on an annual basis as part of the LSU John P. Laborde Energy Law Center.
