Anaïs Morin  Guerry, Honoured among the winners of the Institut Choiseul’s ‘Future of Law’ 2026 Awards

Congratulations to Anaïs Morin Guerry, who has been named among the winners of the Institut Choiseul’s 2026 ‘Future of Law’ Awards.

It honours forty individuals under the age of forty who are shaping the contemporary legal landscape and helping to shape the practices and thinking of the future.

Anaïs Morin Guerry, who holds a PhD in Law from the Sciences Po Law School, is currently a postdoctoral researcher in public law at the Energy and Environmental Transitions Laboratory (TREE – CNRS / University of Pau and the Pays de l’Adour). Having held the CAPA qualification since 2025, she continues her work at the intersection of environmental economic law and environmental constitutionalism. Her research examines the legal and institutional conditions necessary to move towards a more just model of society that is more restrained in its consumption of natural resources.

Her thesis, entitled Energy and the Constitution: A Historical and Comparative Analysis of the French and German Cases. Towards an Ecological Constitutional State, defended in 2022 under the joint supervision of Gilles J. Martin and Guillaume Tusseau, examines how constitutions incorporate a dependence on energy abundance. Through a historical and comparative approach, this work opens up avenues for reflection towards a model of an ‘ecological constitutional state’ capable of guaranteeing respect for biological balances and the effective enjoyment of fundamental rights.

This recognition also honours her commitment to the Legal Clinic at Sciences Po’s School of Law, where she is a co-founder and scientific coordinator of the JETE environmental programme. In this capacity, she supports action research projects carried out with stakeholders in the ecological transition on themes such as framework climate laws, sustainable mobility, cycling policies and shared public services.

We extend our warmest congratulations to Anaïs Morin Guerry on this well-deserved honour and wish her every success in her future research and commitments.
