The Center has a goal of providing relevant information to private, local, state, federal, and international law and policy-making bodies as a means of elevating the discussion about water law and resources. In addition to serving as the Center’s Director, responsibilities would include teaching Water Law and related courses such as Property and Environmental Law.
