Just Transition Lawyering Network

Taproot Earth is building a network of practicing attorneys and legal workers committed to supporting Black-, Brown-, and Indigenous communities and movements leading us toward climate justice and a just transition from extractive systems to an equitable economy and democracy.

The Just Transition Lawyering Network will build power, shift resources, and engage in systemic change for climate justice and a just transition. The vision of JTLN emerges from the legacy of the Gulf Coast Center for Law & Policy and builds on Taproot Earth’s partnerships in creating the Just Transition Lawyering Institute (JTLI).

This Formation will build the infrastructure for a values-aligned community of attorneys and scholars who are committed to Black-, Brown-, and Indigenous-led frontline movements. For the launch of JTLN, several lawyers have shared their insights on just transition lawyering.
