Our Mission:

Our Children's Trust is a non-profit public interest law firm that provides strategic, campaign-based legal services to youth from diverse backgrounds to secure their legal rights to a safe climate. We work to protect the Earth's climate system for present and future generations by representing young people in global legal efforts to secure their binding and enforceable legal rights to a healthy atmosphere and stable climate, based on the best available science. We support our youth clients and amplify their voices before the third branch of government in a highly strategic legal campaign that includes targeted media, education, and public engagement work to support the youths' legal actions. Our legal work - guided byconstitutional, public trust, human rights laws and the laws of nature-aims to ensure systemic and science-based climate recovery planning and remedies at federal, state, and global levels. We seek legally-binding, countrywide and/or statewide science-based Climate Recovery Plans that will return atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations to levels below 350 ppm by the year 2100.

Our Children's Trust (OCT) is a nonprofit organization seeking law students interested in using the law to fight climate change. OCT works to secure the legal right to a healthy atmosphere and stable climate for current and future generations through its coordination of a global legal campaign. As a part of this strategic campaign, since 2011 OCT has supported youth in filing legal actions in every U.S. state (including the historic settlement agreement in Navahine v. Hawai'i Department of Transportation and the first constitutional climate lawsuit to go to trial in the U.S. in Held v. State of Montana), against the federal government , and in different countries around the world. Through litigation, administrative petitions for rulemaking, and climate recovery ordinances, OCT supports youth advocating for science-based carbon emission reductions necessary to restore climate equilibrium on the planet.

Law Student Testimonials:

"Working at Our Children's Trust is challenging, engaging, and most importantly, deeply meaningful. The work was incredibly varied, and each week brought unparalleled opportunities to learn about the legal process and develop practical skills. I don't think there is another legal internship where in just ten weeks I could have researched complex civil procedure questions, conducted document review, learned about the legal system of Sri Lanka, drafted a section of a brief to the Ninth Circuit, supported discovery efforts in preparation for trial, and more. The attorneys at Our Children's Trust truly valued the law clerks and ensured that each assignment was meaningful to the case and our professional development alike." ~1L, Georgetown University Law Center

"It's so easy to wake up in the morning, hear some awful news about climate change, and then go about your day like the world is not on fire. At Our Children's Trust, you get to wake up, hear the news, and then be a part of groundbreaking litigation that could go a long way towards putting out that fire. As a legal experience, this internship is second to none. Interns get a lot of responsibility from day one, and also the feedback and support necessary to learn. Any law student interested in impact environmental litigation should apply!" ~1L, Harvard Law School

"My clerkship at Our Children's Trust was a truly rewarding experience. Over the course of the summer, I had the opportunity to work on substantive projects for both state and federal litigation. I am grateful for the interesting and challenging work that I was assigned, and my research and writing skills grew tremendously throughout the summer. The legal team at Our Children's Trust is inclusive and dedicated to their clerks. I was always encouraged to take on projects that sparked my interest, and I felt supported in completing those projects. I couldn't have asked for a better summer experience!" ~1L, University of Oregon School of Law
