LEWIS & CLARK LAW SCHOOL — Lewis & Clark Law has a renowned reputation for its Environmental Law program, but faculty and students alike also gain from experiences outside of the classroom. In addition to her teaching, Lewis & Clark Professor, Lisa Benjamin, serves as a co-chair of the Climate Accountability Working Group within the Climate Social Science Network (CSSN). In that role, she collaborated with student and research assistant Akriti Bhargava ’22 and other members of the working group to write “Climate-Washing Litigation – Legal Liability for Misleading Climate Communications” which was published on the CSSN website January 13, 2022 and picked up by Bloomberg Legal for widespread dissemination. Bhargava was one of two initial authors that helped organize the report and get it off the ground. The project later expanded to include collaboration from multiple authors. When asked about her experience in CSSN, Bhargava stated that “the intra-personal and social aspects of working on a transnational team of academics from varied fields of expertise were…invaluable parts of the experience.” Through CSSN she has “collaborated with academics and experts from Stanford Law School and the London School of Economics, which is just incredible.” In addition to the Climate-Washing Litigation report, Bhargava has three other publications related to climate change law and policy in the works.
