WG Environmental Law

WG Environmental Law

 Description

Environmental law is a rapidly evolving and continuously impacting different areas of national, European and international law and governance.
The AEAJ Working Group on Environmental Law aims to enhance knowledge, efficiency, and effectiveness of administrative judges in handling cases related to environmental issues, ensuring that legal decisions contribute to environmental justice. 
We promote consistency, build capacity, and foster collaboration among judges to ensure that environmental cases are handled with the highest standards of legal and scientific understanding. Annual seminars allow us to create a platform of exchange for legal precedents, case studies, and best practices related to environmental adjudication. 
The seminars invite as speakers leading experts from across Europe and the world. In the past, we had the privilege to get inspired by scholars from various Universities (Coimbra, Helsinki, Milan, Osaka, Oxford, Vilnius) and the Environmental Law Institute in Washington D.C.
