Colorado Jury Should Not Set Global Climate Policy, Critics Argue
Original: One Colorado Jury Should Not Regulate Global Climate Change
A commentary in the National Law Review argues that a single jury in Colorado should not effectively regulate global climate change through litigation against energy companies. The piece contends that climate policy of worldwide scope is being decided by local courtrooms, raising questions about the proper role of juries versus legislatures and international bodies in setting emissions rules.
Why now: Ongoing climate lawsuits against energy companies in state courts are renewing debate over whether courts are the right venue for global climate policy.
