Law as if Earth really mattered: the wild law judgement project

This book showcases rewritten and fictional judgments from the Wild Law Judgment Project, inspired by Earth jurisprudence and Thomas Berry’s ecocentric philosophy. Contributors reinterpret legal decisions across areas like tort, environmental, constitutional, and native title law to challenge the anthropocentric focus of Western legal systems. By placing Earth and the broader community of life at the center of legal reasoning, the book offers a compelling critique of existing legal norms and invites readers to imagine a more Earth-centred, ecologically conscious system of law.
