CDP staff attorney Ted Hamilton and Stetson University College of Law professor Lance N. Long have published the first law review article on the climate necessity defense: The Climate Necessity Defense: Proof and Judicial Error in Climate Protest Cases.
The article (which you can download directly by visiting the link) reviews the history of the climate necessity defense and provides a comprehensive analysis of how courts have gone wrong in denying activists the right to present their arguments in court. It also provides a series of strategies and evidence that activists and attorneys can use in climate necessity cases.
