A Socio-Legal History of Australia's Environmental Lawyers

这项对澳大利亚环境律师50年（1970-2020）的历史研究旨在开发和保存一套前所未有的多代环境律师数据集。它将创造重要的新知识，挑战将律师仅仅作为社会事业工具的普遍和有限的待遇，并揭示一个新的、以前未探索的环境治理层面。环保主义者、研究人员和政策制定者可以利用这些新知识，更好地理解和参与这一重要的社会改革者阶层。它可以为环境宣传、治理和环境保护提供信息。其他好处包括建设澳大利亚社会法律历史研究的能力。

This historical study of 50 years of Australian environmental lawyering (1970-2020) aims to develop and preserve an unprecedented data set of environmental lawyers over multiple generations. It will create important new knowledge, challenging the common and limited treatment of lawyers as mere instruments of social causes and revealing a novel, and previously unexplored, layer of environmental governance. This new knowledge can be used by environmentalists, researchers and policy makers to better understand and engage with this important class of social reformers. It can inform environmental advocacy, governance and environmental protection. Other benefits include building capacity in Australian socio-legal historical research.
