ABSTRACT Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing society today. Emerging legal professionals need to be equipped with the knowledge and skills required to respond to the challenges posed by climate change. This foundational education needs to commence during law school and be seamlessly integrated into the curriculum of all relevant law courses. The traditional law curriculum aims to educate students in three key areas: substantive law, adjective law and the practice of law. Each of these areas can be reformed to mainstream climate change in legal education. For substantive and adjective law, the inclusion of climate change materials within course curricula raises students’ consciousness of the climate crisis. Climate change litigation has tested the boundaries of both substantive and adjective law, creating valuable educational case studies. For the practice of law, there is a need to teach the craft of lawyering, how to translate substantive and adjective legal knowledge into effective legal practice. I suggest the incorporation of six skills of legal thinking into law school curricula, alongside teaching of effective oral and written communication skills. These tools are essential for lawyers to navigate the legal landscape effectively in the face of the climate crisis.
