Educational Outreach

ELC’s education initiatives prepare tomorrow’s leaders to seek environmental solutions that value Nature as a partner instead of property.

Earth Law COURSEBOOK NOW AVAILABLE!

Earth Law Center and partners have written a cutting-edge law school coursebook on Earth Law, including rights of nature and other Earth-centered legal movements, as part of the Aspen Series and entitled Earth Law: Emerging Ecocentric Law—A Practitioner’s Guide. You can purchase the physical or ebook here. Already, numerous law schools and universities have signed up to teach from the book. Our goal is to train the next generation of “Earth lawyers” and other environmental professionals on ecocentric law so they have the tools to restore our planet to health.

Does your school want to teach from the Earth Law textbook? Email info@earthlaw.org to learn more.

ELC offers other educational programs that help high-school and college students understand and educate others on Earth law. Our programs include a graduate-level Earth Law course (PDF), mock trial workshops, Earth Law Clubs, and a STEM-focused Bottle Biosphere curriculum (PDF).

“Brooklyn College Community Partnership is thrilled to be working with the Earth Law Center on developing a series of mock trials that illustrate the rights of the natural world to Brooklyn youth.”
