How will you answer our law undergraduate essay competition question: what difference can lawyers make in tackling the climate emergency? Join our free online panel event, hosted by LexisNexis, on 25th January at 5pm to hear from lawyers already engaged with the climate emergency. Their insights will inspire and inform your response to the question.
Our online panel event is open to all law students and lawyers who want to hear from lawyers across the legal sector discussing what the climate emergency means for their work. It will also be a chance to hear the latest news on initiatives covered at COP27.
The panel discussion will be moderated by James Harper, Director, Global Legal and Executive Sponsor, Rule of Law and CSR at LexisNexis.
Here are our expert panellists:
