About This Course

This CLE course will present lawyers with the fundamentals of creating legally enforceable rights for ecosystems, which is an emerging area of environmental law which elevates protections to a level comparable with human civil rights laws. The course will explain the legal theory behind “rights of nature” laws and will also examine the anatomy of laws that have already been adopted by US municipal governments.

Case studies on the enforcement of rights of nature laws as well as of international judicial and legal developments surrounding rights of nature concepts will be addressed. A presenters’ panel on the myriad challenges involved in drafting and enforcing rights of nature laws will conclude the presentation.
