Climate Defense Project assisted approximately 10 attorneys and 12 social justice campaigns, along with dozens of individual activists, engaged in litigation, legal defense, and protest to effect policy reform. This assistance took the form of meeting with clients, organizers, other attorneys, and expert witnesses; appearing at trials, hearings, depositions, and site visits; conducting legal research; writing legal documents; supervising interns; and providing trainings on law- and organizing-related subjects. Particular focuses of this work were environmental justice campaigns in Minnesota and Appalachia, student activist campaigns in New Hampshire and elsewhere, and work on behalf of unhoused populations in Minnesota.
