‘What difference can lawyers make in tackling the climate emergency?’—this is topic of the International Law Book Facility’s (ILBF's) law undergraduate essay competition.

The deadline for entries is 28 February 2023, and they will be judged in the final round by Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd and Lord Carnwath of Notting Hill. The prize is a day at Latham & Watkins (the competition sponsors) and four days with the PSL Environment team at LexisNexis.

LexisNexis are hosting a free online panel event on 25 January at 5pm in support of the competition and of interest to all lawyers: the panellists will discuss what the climate emergency means for their work as lawyers in private practice, in-house and at the International Bar Association.
