    <title language="eng">Sustainability and Legal Education</title>
    <abstract language="eng">This entry discusses the role of sustainability in the law school. It traces the concept of sustainability in law and it argues that, in recent years, ‘Sustainability Law’ has evolved as a new field of law. This view is supported through applying theory on the creation of legal fields. There is an increasing number of regulation (particularly EU Directives) aimed at promoting sustainability and there is a growing number of journal articles as well as law school courses on this issue. There are several longstanding debates in legal modules which already overlap with the three pillars of sustainability (i.e. the economic, environmental and social pillars). Students should be alerted to these links. Finally, the chapter argues that the concept of sustainability should be integrated in modules across the curriculum in law schools as a contribution to UNESCO’s mission to promote Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)</abstract>
