2018 VJEL Symposium!
Do environmental statutes work? Should nature take the stand in court?
The Vermont Journal of Environmental Law 2018 Symposium explores a new paradigm in environmental jurisprudence. Drawing on the international trend of legal personhood for natural entities, we will investigate and debate if this approach works in these countries and whether it would work in the United States. We welcome speakers from multiple cultures and perspectives for a lively discussion of nature’s place in our legal system.
