Legal nonprofit scrutinized over alleged Chinese influence ahead of climate case
Critics say the institute’s Climate Judiciary Project and China work could influence judges in climate cases, as Congress investigates and the Supreme Court prepares to hear Suncor.
- During a Wednesday Federalist Society roundtable, critics scrutinized the Environmental Law Institute over alleged ties to China and its influence on U.S. climate litigation ahead of a major Supreme Court case.
- Michael Lucci, CEO of State Armor, alleged the Chinese Communist Party used ELI partnerships to shape U.S. climate litigation, citing his organization's July report detailing the institute's operational footprint in China.
- The Climate Judiciary Project drew criticism as speakers noted lawyers arguing cases reportedly contributed to 'neutral educational materials' provided to judges, though ELI insists CJP does not participate in litigation.
- Congressional scrutiny of ELI, including an ongoing House Judiciary Committee investigation, coincides with the U.S. Supreme Court preparing to hear Suncor Energy Inc. v. County Commissioners of Boulder County on Oct. 5.
- If jurors rule against energy companies in the upcoming Supreme Court case, critics warn that financial damage awards could bankrupt the companies and cause U.S. energy prices to soar.
