Environmental Indifference: Toxics Exposure in Prisons
Professor Anthony Moffa teaches and writes about environmental law, broadly conceived. His recent work research and writing has focused on the legal tools available to combat the policy challenge of global climate change, drawing on the fields of administrative law, criminal law, constitutional law, and business. Professor Moffa joined the University of Maine School of Law in the fall of 2016 after serving in in the General Counsel’s Office of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. At EPA, he worked on Clean Air Act issues, including the Clean Power Plan; civil rights and environmental justice; and Indian law. Professor Moffa oversees the Environmental and Oceans Law Certificate Program at Maine Law. In addition to teaching courses in the environmental law curriculum, he also covers the core subject of torts in the first year curriculum. In recognition of his teaching, he received the Professor of the Year Award in 2018 and 2021. Prior to joining EPA and the Maine Law faculty, Professor Moffa also clerked for Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV on the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts and Judge Kermit Lipez on the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Portland. Professor Moffa graduated magna cum laude from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania and earned a law degree from Yale Law School. When not in his office thinking about the law or the environment, he can be found outdoors, most likely thinking about music or food. |
