Engendering hope in environmental law students

This paper looks at the factors which affect the establishment of Environmental Law Clinics (ELCs) with a particular focus on models that might be most effective in a Chinese context. The paper is the result of desktop research and a clinical program where five law students and one supervising academic from an Australian Law school attended a Chinese law school in early December 2016. During the visit, Australian law students conducted a workshop with Chinese law students as well as visited several NGOs in Wuhan and Beijing to grasp a better understanding of the environmental issues the country faces. The observations in this paper are preliminary in nature and further discussion of educational goals and community needs will be required before settling on a particular model. Brief recommendations and a list of relevant factors for consideration for Chinese ELCs are provided at the end of the paper.

International Dispute

Yoshifumi Tanaka is a Professor of International Law at the Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen. He has published widely in the fields of the law of the sea and international environmental law. I had a profound admiration for Tanaka’s writings, particularly in law of the sea subjects. He has a compelling method in deliberating issues comprehensively but still convenient to digest, especially for academicians, practitioners, and law students (postgraduate). Settlement of International Dispute is considered as a foundation of the establishment and the development of International Law. Accordingly, there are plenty of books and writings had published addressing similar topic, however, Tanaka’s book is distinctive. Tanaka successfully gives the reader an exhaustive and extensive analysis of the procedures for dispute settlement both in traditional means and newly development. In addition, He complemented figures and tables to give the reader a comprehensive understanding.

The Subject

A person is in close contact with the natural environment throughout his life. In the interaction of nature and man, an important role is played by the preservation of ecological balance in the conditions of continuously growing needs of society. Environmental culture has a beneficial effect on the degree of development of the level of legal and environmental awareness in the society, as well as compliance by the members of the society with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In the conditions of the rule of law, there is a great need for professional lawyers who are able to assist in the environmental and legal education of a person throughout his life. In order to raise the level of environmental and legal culture of the society, in our opinion, a special role should be assigned to professional lawyers, for whom this should be part of their professional activities. Within the framework of this research, we have proposed and implemented a case methodology on the subject of environmental law for law students.
