Reception
Writing for Vogue , Zing TSJeng praised Feria-Tinta and said that the book "expertly guides" readers through her work. [4]
The Middle Templar similarly praised the book, finding A Barrister for the Earth "to be exceptional for its accessibility and stylistically a joy to read". [5] It further noted: "This is as much an account of important historical and social context, rich cultural heritage, and past and present injustices, as it is a roadmap through the web of legal instruments, mechanisms, and creative argumentation necessary to protect the rights of nature and those who depend on it". [5]
Horsfall, writing for The Middle Templar, notes that "Readers are treated to something rare in legal writing, a personal display of Feria-Tinta as she is: inspired by Alexander von Humboldt's notions of human interconnectedness with nature; dazzled by the more recent work of Dacher Kelter's Awe: The Transformative Power of Everyday Wonder; laser-focused on writing to the tune of David Bowie's Starman; and culminating with the image of her seated in her gown and wig at her kitchen table in London, taking copious notes, and waiting to argue for the rights of an 'irreplaceable world,' a cloud forest in Ecuador." [5]
Camilla Capasso, writing for Vanity Fair Italia, described A Barrister for the Earth as a book that is "redefin[ing] the very concept of justice" and "radically rethinking our way of inhabiting the Earth".. [6]
