Earthjustice: Environmental Law: Because the Earth Needs a Good Lawyer | Earthjustice

Earthjustice is thankful for... from Earthjustice on Vimeo.



Earthjustice gives thanks to the people who help support our work. Whether you have sent a message to your senators or representatives, told a friend or two about the work we do, or made a contribution to support our environmental mission—you make everything we do possible. Thank you. This brief video is for you


Earthjustice is a non-profit public interest law firm dedicated to protecting the magnificent places, natural resources, and wildlife of this earth, and to defending the right of all people to a healthy environment.

Earthjustice, founded in 1971 as the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund, first used the courts as a conservation tool when it saved the pristine Mineral King Valley in California's scenic Sierra Nevada Mountains from becoming the world's largest ski resort.

Earthjustice works through the courts on behalf of citizen groups, scientists, and other parties to ensure government agencies and private interests follow the law. On Capitol Hill, we work to protect and strengthen federal environmental laws and preserve special places, like the Arctic.

Earthjustice's employees work out of nine regional offices around the country, which include an international program in Oakland and a policy and legislative team based in Washington D.C. Our regional offices and attorneys each have a unique focus, often local and national.
