The LAW FIRM CLIMATE CHANGE SCORECARD
We created the LSCA Law Firm Climate Change Scorecard in order to understand the role the legal industry plays in the climate crisis more broadly.
The Scorecard ranks the "Vault 100" law firms according to how much fossil fuels work they have engaged in over a five-year period. It was designed to draw awareness to the indispensable role law firms play in creating, implementing, and safeguarding fossil fuel projects, as well as protecting the people who profit off of them.
The Scorecard is produced annually by LSCA student leaders. We aim to inform our peers, including students and young associates, so that they can make career decisions that are in line with their personal stake in the habitability of our one and only Earth. We also hope that firms' clients will use the information in the Scorecard to guide their hiring decisions.
In the long-term, we hope the Scorecard will push firms to move away from the fossil fuel industry and toward a livable future.
