No full textSupporting and ensuring effective learning and teaching depends on a range of factors from well-designed and aligned learning outcomes and assessment to student-centred study methods including active learner participation in the educational process. This chapter sets out the theoretical basis for ‘best practice’ and then applies this to the study of climate and environmental justice within and extra to the law curriculum.

The chapter ends with a consideration of practical integration at an imaginary law school

Addressing dimensions of environmental justice through experiential learning
No full textCurrent environmental crises have the potential to undermine the rights and wellbeing of individuals and local communities as their impacts are increasingly becoming a reality. Environmental vulnerability is heightened for specific groups depending on certain characteristics and demographics. Environmental injustice cannot be ignored when considering factors such as economic inequality, in addition to issues of race and gender. Law students and law clinics have unique potential to help plug at least some of the ‘environmental justice’ gap that currently exists in relation to environmental crises both locally and globally, such as climate or biodiversity. Through clinical work students and legal educators can support vulnerable communities and provide much needed balance against the corporate world, including some law firms, that is often complicit in environmental degradation. The justice gap that university-based law clinics can fill is outlined in relation to four dimensions of environmental justice, namely (1) distributive justice; (2) procedural justice, (3) corrective justice and (4) social justice. From this analysis, it is possible to ascertain the potential role of law clinics in striving towards environmental justice, and any challenges that may be faced in doing so
