From Center Square:
State Armor released a 39-page report this week stating that the Environmental Law Institute (ELI) worked with Chinese government agencies, universities, judges, and legal groups for decades while simultaneously training over 2,000 American judges through its Climate Judiciary Project.
State Armor CEO Michael Lucci also sent a letter to leaders of five congressional committees asking them to investigate ELI’s work with Chinese organizations and its judicial education programs.
The report says ELI trained thousands of judges on climate science and legal theories used in lawsuits against oil and gas companies. It also says ELI worked with Chinese government agencies, universities, and institutions tied to the Chinese Communist Party, China’s military, or intelligence programs.
