Earth Law Becoming A Major Part of Legal Education

In Spring 2021, Director Margaret R. Stewart of the Center for Earth Jurisprudence at Barry University will be teaching one of the first law school courses using Earth Law: Emerging Ecocentric Law— A Guide for Practitioners as the guiding text. This is the first legal coursebook comprehensively addressing ecocentric law and jurisprudence. The Earth Law (Jurisprudence) Survey course is a three credit course that contributes to the Environmental and Earth Law program at Barry University School if Law in Orlando, Florida.

“Earth Law: Emerging Ecocentric Law—A Guide for Practitioners is a book for students and practicing lawyers who seek to preserve a habitable planet and question whether current environmental law is sufficient for the task.”

This is an important step in incorporating Ecocentric legal studies into our educational systems around Mother Earth. Thanks to Anthony Zelle, Grant Wilson, Rachelle Adam, and Herman Greene of the Earth Law Center for spearheading this important endeavor.
