IT’S GETTING HOT IN HERE: Climate Change Cases Heat Up in Federal Court
Climate change litigation is heating up in federal court. Current lawsuits contain everything from traditional common law nuisance suits to administrative law actions to imaginative constitutional law claims. This lecture will provide background on climate change litigation, survey the range of climate change litigation currently in federal court, and discuss how climate change cases pose unique challenges for federal courts.
