The Law & Society Series provides historical observations and trends, insights into associated legal issues and processes, and suggestions for change from varied perspectives.

Climate change poses an existential threat to us all, and coastal communities like Charleston have become hotbeds for emerging legal issues because of their vulnerability to flooding and extreme weather.

How is the law changing as a result of climate change, and how should legal professionals adapt? Renowned experts in law, climate, academia, and advocacy weighed in on the interface of climate change and the law at the fifteenth annual Law & Society symposium.
