Climate Science Legal Defense Fund

The Climate Science Legal Defense Fund provides a range of free legal services to help scientists understand their rights and responsibilities, including threatened and actual legal proceedings.

Our free, confidential counseling services are available to scientists from all disciplines dealing with harassment or legal intimidation. We also help those who find themselves involved in legal discussions about their work, correspondence, public statements, or science advocacy.

These sessions enable researchers to better understand their situation and how to respond. Our attorneys also assist in circumstances where a scientist’s legal interests differ from their institution’s legal interests.
