Holland & Hart attorney Tom Sansonetti brings his wealth of experience on water issues as he provides the keynote address at the "Culture of Water" symposium Oct. 13-15 at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center (BBHC).
Titled "Culture of Water - Watering the West: the Evolution of Ownership, Control, and Conflict in the West," the symposium is being held through the BBHC's Cody Institute for Western American Studies (CIWAS) in cooperation with the University of Wyoming School of Law and the UW William D.
