Summary:

"This open access book collects 12 reimagined judgments from the UK and challenges anthropocentrism in legal decision-making across a range of legal areas, drawing from a range of Earth law approaches including earth jurisprudence, rights of nature, ecocide, animal rights, environmental human rights, green criminology, and critical environmental law. Beyond the judgments, the book critically reflects on the developing field of Earth law and its potential for reshaping legal reasoning in the UK and beyond"-- Provided by publisher.
