      The Growing Storm: The Ethics of Representing Clients In Matters Impacting Climate Change [CC]

      As the climate crisis escalates, questions of accountability within the legal profession have prompted an examination of lawyers’ professional responsibilities in this context. Clients choose their lawyers, and lawyers’ representations under Model Rule of Professional Conduct 1.2 are not to constitute an endorsement of the client’s political, economic, social or moral views or activities. Nevertheless, lawyers may find themselves characterized as enablers of climate change because of who they represent or the subject matter of their representation.
