Associate Professor Leon Szeptycki leads the Environmental Law and Conservation Clinic, a course that offers students practical experience in environmental problem-solving. Szeptycki is a former general counsel and eastern conservation director of the national environmental organization Trout Unlimited. For several years he co-taught Environmental Lawyering, a Principles and Practice course at the Law School that used case simulations to develop students' environmental advocacy skills. After receiving his law degree from Yale, Szeptycki clerked for Judge Stephanie K. Seymour of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit. He has also served as an attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Consumer Litigation and with McGuire, Woods, Battle and Boothe (now McGuireWoods) in Charlottesville, Va.
