Environmental Law Institute holds seminars for lawyers and judges about the climate crisis.

The group appears to be connected to Leonard Leo , the architect of the rightwing takeover of the US judiciary.

Leo helped select multiple judicial nominees for former president Donald Trump .

The American Energy Institute ( AEI ) has been attacking Eli and their climate trainings.

AEI ’s attack on the judicial climate education program comes as the supreme court considers litigation that could put big oil on the hook for billions of dollars .

AEI 's report attacking Eli has received a surge of interest from rightwing media, including Fox News and rightwing websites.

Eli 's spokesperson called the report “full of misinformation and created by an organization whose leadership regularly spreads false claims about climate science”.
