We’ve covered lots of practice areas for dispute resolution, but one you may not know as much about has to do with environmental issues: from the air we breathe to the water we use.

Michelle Straube has made environmental and public policy mediation the focus of her work. She’s a retired professor at the University of Utah and former director of the Environmental Dispute Resolution Program at the Wallace Stegner Center in the College of Law. She also directed Salt Lake Solutions, a collaborative government initiative.

Michelle spoke with co-host Larry Schooler and his teaching colleague, Stephen Rye, about her fascinating career in environmental dispute resolution.
