Offline Session on The Art Of Environmental Lawyering In India.

The impact of climate change and environmental degradation has become increasingly apparent in recent years. As a result, the importance of environmental law and the role of environmental lawyers has never been greater. From landmark cases such as MC Mehta v Union of India, also known as Oleum gas leakage case (1986), which resulted in the closure of hazardous industries in Delhi, to the more recent Navroz Seervai v Union of India, which resulted in the declaration of the Western Ghats region as an ecologically sensitive area, environmental lawyers have played a crucial role in shaping environmental policy in India.

Not only is environmental law a crucial area of law in terms of protecting the environment, it is also a lucrative and rewarding career path for lawyers. A career in environmental law can provide opportunities to work on complex legal issues with important social and environmental implications.

To succeed in environmental law practice, it is essential to understand the secrets of environmental lawyering. Building a successful practice in environmental law requires niche specialisation and a deep understanding of the legal and regulatory framework governing environmental issues. Young lawyers can find ample opportunities in this field, especially with the growing awareness of the need for environmental protection.
