About Us

After over half a century of industrial development in Taiwan, The number of environmental litigation cases has been increasing. A group of legal professionals, sensing the vulnerability of environmental cases within the legal system, established the Environmental Jurists Association (EJA) in 2010.

We are dedicated to addressing theBeca judicial gap in environmental cases for public benefit. We invite more young lawyers to join us, sharing our ideals and experiences. We facilitate connections between citizens, scholars, and community partners to support residents in engaging with administrative and judicial processes. Our efforts include accompanying affected individuals as they participate in public demonstrations and proceed to court.

Association Mission

We aim to engage in discussions and take legal actions on matters related to environmental public interests. Additionally, we seek to establish networks and interactive platforms for discussion with other environmental organizations or individuals.

    Work Team

    The environment may seem silent, but it speaks volumes! For 15 years, EJA has been a voice for the environment. Whether it's in environmental administration, legislation, or the judiciary, you’ll find environmental legal professionals playing a role. Behind all this are countless partners working together—colleagues, members, volunteers, scholars, experts, and donors—whose attention and support make it possible.

    In Taiwan, where it's particularly challenging to run a non-profit organization, every bit of help from supporters—whether financial contributions or hands-on assistance—has allowed EJA to proudly enter its sixth term. We look forward to EJA continuing to grow and evolve, and to a future where Taiwan remains resilient and sustainable.

    Professor Mu-Xing Mori Lin
    Esq. - 6th Term Chairperson
    When I was a child, I once read in Professor Lee Chia-tung’s essay The Driver that in the Bible, when Jesus preached by the lake, He used the five loaves and two fish offered by a child to feed five thousand people. Yet this was not because Jesus magically made the food inexhaustible, but because love arose in the hearts of the crowd, and everyone quietly shared the food they had brought with others. From the initial five loaves and two fish, all were fed in the end.

    In a certain version of a Buddhist story, Prince Siddhartha, in the midst of his ascetic practice, received milk porridge from a shepherdess, regained his strength, and eventually attained enlightenment to become the Buddha. The porridge given by the shepherdess to the Buddha, just like the food shared among the five thousand followers of Jesus, revealed not only love and compassion for Siddhartha as an individual, but also “love and compassion” for others and for the world.

    I believe that EJA’s concern for the environment, society, and human rights will ultimately be fulfilled through the inherent “love and compassion” of volunteers, donors, and countless members of the public, bringing about sustainability.
