Sustainability Essentials: A Leadership Guide for Lawyers is for you if you went to law school or are going to law school or considering law school to help move society and the law profession in a more environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable direction, to protect life on the planet, and to make life better for present and future generations. It is also for you if you did not have this goal in law school, but you now want to incorporate sustainable development in your practice.
Sustainable development is a relatively new legal perspective, one that demands practice, patience, persistence, and great attention to what clients actually want and need. Best practices for sustainable development in law practice are a work in progress, and leadership matters. This Guide aims to help you on your journey, and to help you succeed in making your goals a reality.
