Can you keep a secret? If you promise you won’t tell any non-section member the special password, I can show you how to open up the finest compilation of Florida environmental and land use law from your very own computer. Now that we are all sworn not to tell, it is with great pleasure that I can announce that the TREATISE ON ENVIRONMENTAL AND LAND USE LAW is available online to ELUL Section members. For a limited time, section members can access the Treatise by going to the section’s website, www.eluls.org, and once there mouse clicking on the treatise heading, which will then open up the entry portal.

For those of you who may be computer dysfunctional, type in just the words and do not type in the quotation marks. Obviously, the password can be changed easily, and most likely will be sometime in the near future. Section members will be notified of these changes and therein lies a new and valuable benefit to Section membership. I encourage all Section members to introduce the Treatise to non-section members and let them see what they can get for the minimal cost of Section membership.

Getting the Treatise online was primarily through the efforts of Gary Hunter and Joe Richards, and to them a great deal of thanks are due. Their efforts would have been for naught, however, were it not for the unsung editors and authors and others who have labored diligently for years to produce this tome. The wider readership offered by the internet will now allow their hard work to be truly appreciated. Finally, no discussion of this topic can be complete without commending Richard Hamann for his foresight, sometime back in the dark ages, and unrelenting insistence that the best place for the Treatise was on the internet. He is clearly a front runner for this year’s Nostradomus award.

Now is the time to mark August 24 - 26 on your calendar as the dates of the Section’s Annual Update. Once again, it will be at the Plantation on beautiful Amelia Island. This year’s program focuses on the many challenges to development in the sunshine state, as well as some of the challenges that result from development. It promises to be a very useful seminar. My personal challenge for those section members, and we know who you are, who have yet to attend one of our updates, to take the time and join us this year at Amelia. See you there.
