Earth Jurisprudence in Practice

  • Center for Earth Jurisprudence (map)

Earth jurisprudence, a term coined by the late Thomas Berry, calls on us to recognize that Nature is, and should be, the source of human laws, ethics and how we govern ourselves.  (Jurisprudence refers to the principles by which we live: the norms and rules that govern our lives.) Earth Jurisprudence calls for us to transform dominant, anthropocentric (human-centered) ways of seeing to Earth-centered understandings of our place on Earth and Earth-centered governance. 

Join Speakers:

CARLOTTA BYRNE, the Earth Jurisprudence Programme Lead at the Gaia Foundation, UK;

DR. MICHELLE MALONEY, Co-Founder and National Convenor of the Australian Earth Laws Alliance (AELA); and

MARGARET STEWART, ESQ., the Director of the Center for Earth Jurisprudence (CEJ) at Barry University School of Law;

as they explore what Earth jurisprudence is, and how it can be used as a theoretical framework for a range of practical programs and approaches. With stories and examples from around the world, this is an excellent opportunity to learn about Earth jurisprudence and how it's being applied around the world.
