Gautier/St. Martin Eminent Scholar
Chair of Environmental Law, School of Law. I teach Environmental
Law, International Environmental Law, Land Use, and Environmental Justice
at the Law School. I hold an A.B. degree from Stanford University and
a J.D. degree from Harvard Law School. Before joining Loyola, I taught
for eleven years on the law faculty of the University of Missouri at Kansas
City. I've also taught as a visitor at Beijing University School of Law
(China), Aarhus University Faculty of Law (Denmark), and Seattle University
School of Law. I am a Research Scholar with the Center for Progressive
Regulation in Washington, D.C. I've testified on Capitol Hill and served
as a peer reviewer for the White House on issues of environmental regulation.
I am also Contributing Editor for the American Bar Association's Urban
Lawyer law review. In 2002, I represented the University of Missouri's
Center for the City at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in
Johannesburg, South Africa. My scholarship focuses on environmental regulation
and environmental justice, an area of study concerned with environmental
protection and civil rights. My work has appeared in the California
Law Review , the Southern California Law Review , the Harvard
Environmental Law Review , and the Stanford Environmental Law
Journal , among other places.
