About
- Bio:
I graduated in 1978 from Columbia Law School, where I was a Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar and winner of the Convers Prize. After law school, I clerked for United States District Judge John R. Bartels in the Eastern District of New York. Since 1980, I’ve specialized in complex law reform litigation and argued cases on behalf of environmental and community organizations at all levels of the federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court. Currently, I specialize in issues of coastal protection, land use, marine mammal protection, environmental justice, and transportation.
- Roots in:
- Riverside, CA
- Favorite place:
- Kings Canyon National Park, or just about anywhere with my three kids.
- Why "environmentalism" matters:
- As Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., says so well, we protect the oceans and the forests and wild spaces not just for their sake, though that is reason enough; we protect them for our own sake and for the sake of our children. It’s all about what kind of a world we want to live in.
