On Thursday, January 15, 2026, CELDF’s Will Falk will be at Georgetown Law in Washington D.C., speaking with first-year law students about what American property law gets wrong when it treats living ecosystems as property instead of relatives and asks one of the most foundational questions in environmental law: What if Nature had legal rights?
Invited by former Georgetown law student Sessen Berhane and Professor Sherally Munshi, Will will explore the Rights of Nature in the context of American property law, where current legal frameworks fall short, and what it means to rethink ownership, land, and law itself. These conversations help shape how future lawyers understand their role in protecting the living world.
