Summary

Performance and performative writing can play a key role in opening up an extralegal space for new representations of non-human species and Earth itself. This is apparent in two recent initiatives: the Rights of Nature tribunals and the Wild Law Judgment project. The Rights of Nature tribunals constitute an unconventional performative forum for recognition of non- mainstream representations of Earth and its communities. The Wild Law Judgment project has provided an important space for unsettling anthropocentric assumptions and expectations in the common law. In ‘dressing up’ as judges, as tribunal members and judgment rewriters, we perform law differently to achieve Earth-centred outcomes.
