ABSTRACT

Environmental law is a dynamic field shaped by legal discourse, scientific debates, and public engagement. Effective communication plays a pivotal role in ensuring that environmental laws are understood, enforced, and adapted to evolving ecological and societal needs. This paper investigates how legal communication influences environmental law cases, including its role in legal frameworks, historical developments, key communication theories, stakeholder engagement, and public participation. It also examines the role of the media, challenges in legal communication, and the impact of technology in environmental litigation. Ethical considerations and international perspectives further highlight the necessity of clear, transparent, and inclusive communication in environmental legal proceedings. By addressing these aspects, this study underscores how improved legal communication can enhance environmental protection, support public trust, and facilitate fair legal outcomes.

Keywords: Environmental Law, Legal Communication, Public Participation, Stakeholder Engagement, Media Influence, Legal Jargon, Technology and Law.
