As the climate crisis accelerates, the role of lawyers is rapidly evolving. This webinar introduces the powerful idea that we are all climate lawyers, and explores what that means in practice for the legal profession.
Designed for pro bono lawyers, this session will showcase how legal skills can be leveraged to advance climate justice across all practice areas. Through real-world experiences, John Dernbach (of Widener University Commonwealth Law School) and Michael Gerrard (of Columbia Law School and the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law) will share how sustainability can be meaningfully integrated into law firm work, from client advisory to pro bono initiatives.
Participants will also gain practical, actionable guidance on where to begin, whether you are taking your first steps or looking to deepen your engagement. Join us to discover how you can activate your role, contribute to systemic change, and become part of a growing movement redefining legal practice in the face of the climate crisis.
