Lawyers and the climate emergency
Find out what the climate emergency means to lawyers from across the legal sector and how this impacts their work.
We’re delighted to be hosting a special online panel discussion in support of the International Law Book Facility’s law undergraduate essay competition 2022-2023. The competition asks law undergraduates the question: What difference can lawyers make in tackling the climate emergency?
Join us to hear from practitioners directly involved in the climate emergency and gather insights on what this means for lawyers now, and what this could mean for future practitioners.
Date: Wednesday 25 January 2023
Time: 17:00-18:30
Format: virtual
The panel discussion will be moderated by James Harper, Director, Global Legal and Exec Sponsor, Rule of Law and CSR at LexisNexis.
