Climate change and its consequences suffuse nearly all areas of law, but for law students who want to focus intentionally on climate, selecting a career path in an ever-shifting social, technological, and judicial environment can be daunting. Join Wasserstein Fellow Matt Littleton ’10, an attorney at Envolve Law, for a discussion of his career as a government and private public-interest litigator specializing in federal and state climate policy. Matt will discuss ways (some obvious, others not) that litigating and non-litigating attorneys are tackling one of the most pressing and vexing problems of our time, and offer thoughts on where the field may be heading.
