Gerhard Schnyder, Mathias Siems, Ruth V Aguilera, Twenty years of ‘Law and Finance’: time to take law seriously, Socio-Economic Review , Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2021, Pages 377–406, https://doi.org/10.1093/ser/mwy041

This ‘state of the art’ essay provides a comprehensive discussion of the Law and Finance School (LFS) literature. We show that the first two decades of the LFS have focused on empirically investigating the question ‘does law matter?’ Yet, despite the centrality of law to the LFS, it is based on an incoherent theory of law, which leads to shortcomings in the conceptualization and empirical testing of its hypotheses. We also observe that, rather than addressing this deficiency, the LFS has moved its focus to the contentious concept of ‘legal origin’. We argue that the LFS needs to take law more seriously by returning to its initial focus on the substance of legal rules and by addressing the theoretical question ‘ how does law matter?’ We propose venues for future research to develop a solid theoretical framework that would put the empirical investigation of law’s impact on economic outcomes on a more solid footing.

Does Law Matter? An Introduction

DOES LAW MATTER? ON LAW AND ECONOMIC GROWTH, Michael Faure & Jan Smits, eds., Cambridge-Antwerp, 2011

Maastricht European Private Law Institute Working Paper No. 2011/35

Date Written: October 29, 2011

This contribution addresses the importance of institutions for economic development and in particular the role of law for economic growth. It was written as the introduction to an edited volume that critically considers the so-called legal origins-thesis. This thesis claims that the economic performance of a country is largely the result of that country’s legal system and in particular of how this legal system has come about. Economic indicators would show that in particular common law countries are better suited to meet the interests of business than civil law countries. This volume takes stock of the debate by offering a mufti-disciplinary approach to the relationship between legal rules and economic growth. It contains a general part with theoretical, empirical, historical and economic analysis of the legal origins-claim, a part on differences among various jurisdictions (including China) and a part on specific fields of law (including discussion of corporate law, property law and environmental law).

Keywords: Legal origins, economic growth, comparative law, economic analysis, China

  • How to Find and Narrow Your Topic
  • Researching for Your Paper
  • Other Support for Substantial Writing

Profile Photo

The thesis of your substantial writing paper must meet several requirements:

  • It must be original
  • It must take a position, advance an argument, or propose a solution
  • It must be concrete, identifiable, and manageable
  • It must be novel, useful, nonobvious, and sound

Your approach to the topic may be descriptive, prescriptive, or both.

You should also do a preemption check on your thesis, which means you make sure no one else has argued your exact same thesis/argument. You research the key terms of your thesis to make sure that no scholarly work comes up in your list of results with the same thesis.

Types of Theses

Most law review theses fit into three main categories: proposing a solution to a legal problem, bringing an interdisciplinary idea into the law, and comparing two or more legal ideas.

Common Arguments

A law review thesis will usually engage in one or more common types of arguments. These may include:

  • an argument from precedent,
  • an interpretive argument,
  • a normative argument, or
  • an institutional argument.

For more information about these types of arguments, see Elizabeth Fajans & Mary R. Falk, Scholarly Writing for Law Students 37-38 (5th ed. 2017).

Solution Theses

There are a few helpful ways to think about generating a solution as your thesis.

  • This type of thesis might transfer a solution from one area to a new area.
  • It might re-categorize claims and facts that have been made elsewhere.
  • It might challenge assumptions about an area of law.
  • It might extend or modify an existing theory or doctrine.
  • It might borrow distinct legal principles to respond to new events.
  • It might use analogy and metaphor.

For more information, see Elizabeth Fajans & Mary R. Falk, Scholarly Writing for Law Students 55-56 (5th ed. 2017).

Exploring the vast expanse of law thesis topics provides a unique opportunity for law students to delve into specific legal issues, refine their understanding, and contribute to the ongoing development of legal scholarship. As students embark on this crucial phase of their academic journey, selecting the right thesis topic is essential. This article aims to illuminate the range of potential law thesis topics, highlighting current issues, recent trends, and future directions. By examining these topics, students can better understand the legal landscape’s complexities and identify areas where they can make a significant academic impact.

Current Issues in Law

As we navigate through the complexities of contemporary society, numerous current issues in law emerge that are critical for law students to explore in their theses. These topics not only reflect ongoing legal challenges but also set the stage for developing effective solutions that uphold justice and societal norms. Delving into these law thesis topics allows students to engage with live issues that impact various facets of the legal system, from privacy laws and civil rights to corporate governance and environmental regulations.

  • Privacy and Data Protection: In today’s digital age, the issue of privacy and data protection has come to the forefront. With the proliferation of digital data, the legal frameworks designed to protect personal information are constantly tested. Law students could explore the adequacy of existing laws like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States, considering the rapid advancements in technology and the increasing global nature of data processing.
  • Civil Rights in the Modern Era: As societies evolve, so too do their understandings and implementations of civil rights. Current legal discussions often focus on issues such as police brutality, LGBTQ+ rights, and the protections afforded to individuals under new healthcare regulations. Thesis topics may examine how legal responses are adapting in light of these challenges, particularly in terms of legislative and judicial actions intended to protect marginalized groups.
  • Corporate Compliance and Governance: With the global economy becoming more interconnected, the importance of corporate compliance and governance has been magnified. Law thesis topics could investigate how businesses are expected to operate ethically while maximizing shareholder value, especially in industries that have significant impacts on the environment or human rights. Additionally, the legal liabilities of corporate officers and directors for breaches of fiduciary duties remain a hot topic in legal research.
  • Environmental Law and Climate Change: Environmental law continues to be a pressing area of legal concern as the effects of climate change become more evident. Law students can explore topics related to the enforcement of environmental regulations, the role of international treaties in combating global warming, and the legal responsibilities of nations and corporations in ensuring sustainability. The recent shifts towards renewable energy sources and their legal implications offer a rich field for exploration.
  • Immigration Law: Immigration law remains at the forefront of political and legal debates in many countries. Thesis topics could address the legality of border enforcement practices, the rights of refugees and asylum seekers, and the impact of new immigration policies on families and communities. Additionally, the intersection of immigration law with human rights provides a compelling area for legal research and discussion.
  • Intellectual Property in the Innovation Economy: As innovation drives economic growth, intellectual property (IP) law plays a crucial role in protecting inventions, brands, and creative works. However, the tension between IP protection and the public interest, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry and technology sector, presents a complex scenario for legal analysis. Law students might explore the balance between encouraging innovation through patents and copyrights and ensuring public access to essential medicines and technologies.

Each of these areas presents unique challenges and opportunities for law students to contribute to their fields through rigorous analysis and innovative thinking. Addressing these current issues in law not only enhances their academic portfolio but also prepares them to enter the legal profession with a comprehensive understanding of the issues at the forefront of legal practice today. By focusing on these law thesis topics, students can position themselves at the cutting edge of legal research and development.

Recent Trends in Law

The dynamic nature of legal systems worldwide ensures that the landscape of law is perpetually evolving. Recent trends in law have been shaped by technological advancements, societal shifts, and global events that have prompted significant legal developments and debates. These trends provide fertile ground for law thesis topics, offering students a chance to explore the cutting-edge issues that are shaping modern legal doctrines and practices.

  • Technology and Law: One of the most pervasive influences on recent legal trends is technology. From the rise of fintech and blockchain technology affecting financial regulations to the challenges posed by artificial intelligence in privacy and intellectual property law, technology is reshaping legal boundaries. Law students could examine topics such as the regulation of autonomous vehicles, legal responses to cybersecurity threats, or the implications of AI in criminal justice systems, including predictive policing and decision-making algorithms.
  • Global Health and Law: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical role of health law on a global scale. Recent legal trends have focused on public health law’s response to pandemics, including emergency powers, vaccination mandates, and quarantine measures. Thesis topics might analyze the balance between individual rights and public health safety, the legal implications of global vaccine distribution, or the role of the World Health Organization in shaping international health regulations.
  • International Trade and Law: Recent shifts in international trade agreements and policies, such as Brexit and changes in the United States’ trade policies, have significant legal implications. Law students have the opportunity to delve into issues surrounding trade negotiations, tariffs, and the role of international bodies like the World Trade Organization in mediating global trade disputes. Additionally, the rise of protectionist policies and their legal ramifications offers a rich area for scholarly investigation.
  • Social Justice and Law: Recent years have seen a marked increase in legal initiatives focused on social justice, including movements towards criminal justice reform, police accountability, and the decriminalization of certain activities. Law thesis topics could explore the legal frameworks surrounding prison reform, the abolition of cash bail systems, or the legalization of cannabis and its social, economic, and legal impacts.
  • Environmental and Energy Law: With the urgent need for environmental sustainability, recent legal trends have increasingly focused on environmental and energy law. Topics for exploration include the transition to renewable energy sources, legal strategies for reducing carbon footprints, and the enforcement of international environmental agreements like the Paris Accord. Law students could also investigate the legal aspects of green technology patents and their role in promoting eco-friendly innovations.
  • Corporate Responsibility and Ethics: There is a growing trend towards ensuring that corporations operate more transparently and ethically, particularly in relation to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. This shift has led to new regulations and legal standards, offering thesis topics on corporate governance reforms, the legal liabilities of ignoring climate change impacts, and the integration of corporate social responsibility into business operations.

These recent trends in law reflect a world where legal systems are rapidly adapting to external changes and internal pressures. For law students, engaging with these law thesis topics not only provides an opportunity to contribute to scholarly discourse but also to influence future legal practices and policies. As these trends continue to evolve, they will undoubtedly shape the legal landscape for years to come, providing ongoing opportunities for impactful legal research.

Future Directions in Law

The legal landscape is continually evolving, driven by shifts in technology, societal norms, and global dynamics. Identifying and understanding future directions in law is crucial for law students as they consider thesis topics that not only address current legal challenges but also anticipate upcoming legal trends. This exploration provides insights into potential legal reforms, the emergence of new legal fields, and the adaptation of law to future societal needs.

  • The Expansion of Cyber Law: As digital technology becomes even more integrated into daily life, the future of law will increasingly hinge on addressing cyber-related issues. Future law thesis topics might explore regulations for the Internet of Things (IoT), legal responses to virtual realities, and the implications of quantum computing on data security and encryption. Additionally, the legalities of digital personhood and AI’s rights and responsibilities will challenge traditional legal frameworks and require innovative legal thinking.
  • Climate Change Legislation: Climate change continues to be an urgent global issue, necessitating robust legal frameworks that promote environmental sustainability and mitigate harm. Future legal scholars might focus on international climate agreements, the development of national laws that enforce global climate goals, and the legal responsibilities of countries and corporations in reducing their carbon footprint. The role of law in promoting green technologies and sustainable urban planning will also be critical areas for research.
  • Global Legal Cooperation: In an interconnected world, the future of law lies in global cooperation, particularly in areas like human rights, international trade, and public health. Law students could examine the potential for new international treaties, the evolution of supranational legal institutions, and the ways legal systems can work together to address issues such as migration, pandemics, and international crime.
  • Legal Implications of Biotechnology: As biotechnological advancements continue, so too will their legal implications. Future thesis topics may include the regulation of genetic editing techniques, bioethics, bioprinting of human organs, and the patenting of biotechnological inventions. The balance between innovation and ethical considerations will be a significant focus, as will the protection of genetic data.
  • Reforming Justice Systems: There is an ongoing need for justice system reform, particularly concerning equity, efficiency, and accessibility. Future directions in law could involve examining alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, the decriminalization of certain offenses, and reforms in sentencing practices. Additionally, the adoption of technology in the justice system, such as virtual courtrooms and AI in legal decision-making, presents both opportunities and challenges.
  • The Future of Labor Law: The nature of work and the workplace is changing rapidly, prompted by technology and evolving business models. Future law thesis topics might include the legal status and rights of gig economy workers, the use of AI in workplace management, and the implications of remote work for labor law. Legal scholars will need to consider how labor laws can adapt to continue protecting workers’ rights in this new landscape.
  • Protecting Rights in a Digital World: As personal and societal activities increasingly move online, protecting individual rights becomes more complex and essential. Future legal research could focus on digital identity, the right to digital privacy, and freedom of expression online. Legal frameworks will need to evolve to protect these rights adequately while balancing them against national security concerns and societal norms.

These future directions in law offer a glimpse into the potential challenges and areas of growth for the legal profession. For law students, engaging with these topics not only helps push the boundaries of current legal thought but also prepares them to play an active role in shaping the future of the legal landscape.

The exploration of law thesis topics is more than an academic requirement; it’s a chance to engage deeply with the legal issues that shape our society and influence our daily lives.

Heller, to educate international students, lawyers, judges, public officials, and other professionals trained in the study of law outside the United States.  Students in the SPILS Program are required to do interdisciplinary research that affects the global community.  The culmination of this program is a research project that each individual student develops over the course of the year under a faculty advisor, after which the earns a Master of the Science of Law degree.  The research project must demonstrate the student's ability to employ empirical methods of investigation and must addresses issues in the international community or within a specific country.  These can cover a large range of topics that analyze legal cultures, legal reforms, or public policy.  

Dissertations are produced under Doctor of Science of Law program or JSD.  The JSD program as we know it was revised for the Doctor of Jurisprudence in 1969 is designed for students who are interested in pursuing an academic career. Doctor of Science of Law Students are selected from the Stanford Program in International Legal Studies and those who have a postgraduate degree in Legal Studies.

All materials in this collection were donated by individual authors to the Stanford Law Library's Special Collections.

The only current papers are from the S.J.D. Program. The papers exist either in paper, microfiche, or digital form, and some may be available in more than one format.

Description of Degree Programs

The Juris Doctor (J.D.) is the first degree in law, as well as the terminal degree for the practice of law. It is required for those who plan to become attorneys, is usually earned in three years, and requires a bachelor's degree for admission. Until 1966, the first degree in law was the LL.B. (Bachelor of Laws) and during the 1930s and 1940s, the J.D. was awarded as a graduate level degree. In 1967 the J.D. became the first law degree. The Master of Laws (LL.M.) is the second level professional law degree after the J.D. It is a one-year advanced post-graduate degree program that specializes in a specific area of the law, and requires a J.D. as a prerequisite. The Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.) is the highest degree offered by Georgetown Law. It is a Ph.D-level research and academic-based degree primarily designed for those who are interested in becoming law professors, scholars, jurists or public intellectuals.

UK Theses and Dissertations

Electronic copies of Ph.D. theses submitted at over 100 UK universities are obtainable from EThOS , a service set up to provide access to all theses from participating institutions. It achieves this by harvesting e-theses from Institutional Repositories and by digitising print theses as they are ordered by researchers using the system. Over 250,000 theses are already available in this way. Please note that it does not supply theses submitted at the universities of Cambridge or Oxford although they are listed on EThOS.

Registration with EThOS is not required to search for a thesis but is necessary to download or order one unless it is stored in the university repository rather than the British Library (in which case a link to the repository will be displayed). Many theses are available without charge on an Open Access basis but in all other cases, if you are requesting a thesis that has not yet been digitised you will be asked to meet the cost. Once a thesis has been digitised it is available for free download thereafter.

When you order a thesis it will either be immediately available for download or writing to hard copy or it will need to be digitised. If you order a thesis for digitisation, the system will manage the process and you will be informed when the thesis is available for download/preparation to hard copy.

A Pinellas campaign ad may have violated state law — and it might not matter

  • Marlene Sokol Times staff

On the eve of key school board races in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties, a political action committee says it did nothing wrong in promoting “Republican” candidates in nonpartisan races. —

At issue is advertising for Erika Picard, a Pinellas County guidance counselor who is running for school board against incumbent Eileen Long. The Empower Parents Florida organization described Picard in a mailing as “Republican.”

Similar labels have appeared on other candidates’ materials. These include one for Hillsborough school board candidate Myosha Powell, distributed by the same political action committee.

Citing a Florida statute, Long filed a complaint with the Florida Elections Commission last week, saying such labels are against the law in nonpartisan races. Specifically, the law says that “a political advertisement of a candidate running for nonpartisan office may not state the candidate’s political party affiliation.”

Picard told the Tampa Bay Times that she did not approve the mailers. But she also said she was confident that the political organization cleared it with lawyers.

On Friday, Empower Parents Florida told the Times it is protected by a federal court decision that considers the Republican label to be free speech under the First Amendment.

The case they cited concerned Kells Hetherington, a candidate for the Escambia County School Board in 2018 and 2022. Hetherington had been fined $200 in the first election for telling voters he was a “lifelong Republican.”

Hetherington wanted to improve his chances in 2022 by giving voters a clear picture of his overall beliefs. So he filed a federal lawsuit challenging the state law with the help of the Institute for Free Speech, a Washington, D.C.-based organization that defends First Amendment rights.

A judge ruled in Hetherington’s favor and issued a permanent injunction, saying the statute is unconstitutional and the Florida Elections Commission cannot enforce it.

Long said she had not known about the Pensacola court case when she filed her complaint. She said before she did so, she took her concerns to the Pinellas Supervisor of Elections. A staff member there looked up the statute and confirmed that it says candidates in nonpartisan elections cannot identify themselves by party. The staffer also gave Long instructions in how to file the complaint.

In other words: The law remains on the books, and local elections officials see it when they research the statutes in response to calls from candidates.

But a court decision says the law cannot be enforced.

“To the layperson, that might seem confusing,” said Tim Vaccaro, executive director of the state elections commission. “But the court has said that is an unconstitutional statute. Even though it is on the books, we can’t enforce it.”

Nor should a candidate assume their local elections office will be aware of the court order, as “the supervisors’ office is not responsible for enforcing it,” said Mark Herron, a leading elections attorney. “To use a sports term, that is not in their wheelhouse to worry about.”

The state elections commission does, however, have information about the nonpartisan identification issue on its website.

As there are only two candidates in the contests between Picard and Long; and between Vaughn and Powell, they will be decided Tuesday.

SEC, Richard Heart Clash in Dueling Motions Over $1 Billion Unregistered Securities Litigation

  • The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued Richard Heart over the offer and sale of over $1 billion in unregistered securities.
  • Both sides filed dueling motions on Thursday spanning over 140 pages.
  • An uninvolved expert noted the implications of the litigation on the industry at large.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the litigators for an embattled cryptocurrency founder escalated their clash this week over a $1 billion unregistered securities lawsuit before a federal district court in Brooklyn.

Defendant Richard Heart is represented by several law firms, including Am Law 100 firm Quinn Emanuel  Urquhart & Sullivan and its partners Michael Liftik and Kristin Tahler. Heart claimed that the plaintiff, the SEC, “further seeks to cement a role it has assumed for itself as the global governor of blockchain technology—a role exceeding both the limited mandate and the bounds of personal jurisdiction” and the “case should be dismissed with prejudice.”

Leon County judge race: Churchill, Riggans headed to runoff

Robert Churchill and LaShawn Riggans – the two top vote-getters in Tuesday’s election for Leon County judge – are headed to a runoff in November.

Churchill came away with 43.5%, Riggans claimed almost 31% and Cydnee Brown was in third with nearly 26%, according to the Florida Division of Elections website.

In races with more than two candidates, one of the candidates has to get more than 50% of the vote to win outright. The top two vote-getters go on to face off in the Nov. 5 general election.

Brown, Churchill and Riggans were competing for an open seat now held by Judge Augustus Aikens Jr., who faces mandatory retirement under Florida law. (The judicial retirement age was changed by voters in 2018 to 75 from 70.)

Churchill, 48, is founder and managing partner of Tallahassee’s Churchill Law Group , specializing in consumer and small business protection.

Riggans, 56, is ‘of counsel’ at the Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson law firm, also in Tallahassee, and has been Deputy County Attorney for Leon County. Of counsel refers to attorneys who work on a case-to-case basis at a firm and not as an associate or partner.

In Florida, county judges hear misdemeanors, small claims cases, traffic infractions and landlord-tenant disputes, among other matters. 

How much does this position pay?  $186,034 yearly.

What's next?  The winner of the Nov. 5 election will take the bench on Jan. 7, beginning a six-year term.

Naperville sun | naperville teen helps initiate state law requiring climate change be taught in schools.

Recent Neuqua Valley High School graduate Grace Brady, seen here on July 11, 2024, helped initiate a bill recently signed into law by Gov. J.B. Pritzker that will require Illinois public schools to educate students on climate change starting in 2026. (Tess Kenny/Naperville Sun)

Over the past year, recent Neuqua Valley High School graduate Grace Brady helped create and write House Bill 4895, which amends the state’s school code so that it requires Illinois public schools to educate students on climate change starting in 2026.

Earlier this month, Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the legislation into law.

“I’m very happy about it. It’s awesome,” Brady, 18, said in a call from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where she’ll soon be starting her freshman year. She’s majoring in sustainability and environmental science.

As passed, the measure provides that beginning in the 2026-27 school year, “every public school shall provide instruction on climate change.” That instruction, it says, can include but isn’t limited to “identifying the environmental and ecological impacts of climate change on individuals and communities and evaluating solutions for addressing and mitigating the impact of climate change.”

The measure also says that the State Board of Education should, subject to appropriation, “prepare and make available multidisciplinary instructional resources and professional learning opportunities for educators that may be used to meet” requirements of the amended code.

The legislation was initiated by a desire to bolster climate change education locally that started to weigh on Brady last year, she said during an interview in July. She has always had an interest in environmental advocacy, she said, but the impulse to enact change — and take her ideas as far as Springfield — was the function of a few recent experiences that kicked her advocacy into high gear.

In part, Brady’s interest in climate change education was stoked in a course she took last year during which she was tasked with researching how the topic could be better addressed in Illinois schools. Meanwhile, in summer 2023, Brady also interned with Naperville-based environmental nonprofit Accelerate Climate Solutions.

Between the two, Brady found herself grappling with the concern that, in her experience, climate change “was just kind of something that was touched on but not really talked about in detail (in school),” she said. She wanted to do something about it.

Brady reached out to state Rep. Janet Yang Rohr, D-Naperville. Together, they went back and forth drafting a bill aimed at closing gaps with climate change education across the state. HB 4895 was the end result.

Speaking about the bill before it had been signed by Pritzker, Yang Rohr said the measure’s purpose is twofold. “It makes sure school districts very clearly understand that climate change, and how to address it, are being taught in the curriculum. So that’s one piece. And then the other piece is making sure that our teachers have the right tools to do so.”

Nationwide, most states have learning standards — largely set by state education boards — that include climate change, though their extent varies by state.

Twenty states, including Illinois , and Washington, D.C., have specifically adopted what are known as Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), which call for middle schoolers to learn about climate science and high schoolers to receive lessons on how human activity affects the climate.

An additional 26 states have developed standards that are similar, according to Glenn Branch, deputy director of the Oakland, California-based National Center for Science Education. Prior to NGSS, which were released in 2013, only a few states had standards that had some material tied to climate change, he said.

“(This) really put climate change front and center,” Branch said.

Generally, state science standards “are documents that specify in some fairly general, abstract terms what the goals of science education in the state are,” he said. They’re essentially what students are expected to come to know and be able to do at various points through their education.

Standards, however, are not as specific as curriculum. Whereas standards specify goals of instruction, curriculum details what that instruction actually is. And with curriculum being developed at the school district level, there ends up being a lot of variation with how standards are implemented, Branch said.

In recent years, there’s been a move by states to support climate change education legislatively, he said. Connecticut changed its state law in 2022 to require that schools teach climate change a part of their science curriculum, per a report from the Hartford Courant . In October 2023, California Gov. Gavin Newsom likewise signed a measure into law that requires grades one through 12 to study the causes and effects of climate change no later than this current school year.

By Branch’s count, over the past five years there have been no fewer than 90 measures aimed at supporting climate change education introduced in the legislatures of 21 states across the country, he wrote in a June 2024 article for Yale Climate Connections . Unfortunately, a lot of those bills have not passed and those that have tend to be more symbolic in nature, he said.

He pointed to Illinois’ new climate change education requirement. Branch noted that “having a law on the books is not really much more different from having” adopted standards. But there is something to be said about flexing the force of law, he said.

“Well, in a way, it’s really powerful symbolism,” Branch said. “It’s not just the Department of Education and whoever supervises that has decided we need to teach climate change. It also shows that the legislature has recognized that there’s a need for climate change education.”

Yang Rohr agreed.

“I think, to me, it’s very moving to know that as a community, as a society, that we are saying this is important to us,” she said. “That all these future generations should know about this topic. It’s kind of a value system, and showing where our values lie. And our values lie in making sure that we’re leaving the Earth a better place than we have now.”

Branch added that, “It’s certainly nice to have it explicitly written out that every public school shall provide instruction on climate change.” He also said it’s important that the state keeps up with the provision concerning instructional materials and professional development for bettering climate change education.

“I really hope the legislature follows up by making those appropriations … to make these resources and training opportunities available to their teachers,” he said. “But we’ll have to see if that happens.”
