Critical Judgment Projects: The Wild Law Judgment Project
This project approaches the task of judging from eco– rather than human–centred or anthropocentric principles, and ‘poses a critical challenge to the dominant focus and orientation of the common law’. The project covers diverse areas of law, including tort, corporations, criminal, administrative, and native title law. The 25 rewritten judgments have been published in a collection Nicole Rogers and Michelle Maloney, Law as if Earth Really Mattered (Routledge, 2017).
