US Department of Justice Honors Visiting Professor Deborah Behles for Environmental Litigation Work
Deborah Behles, a former trial attorney at the US Department of Justice who is now a visiting assistant professor with the Golden Gate Environmental Law & Justice Clinic, has received the Department of Justice's John Marshall Award for her team work on a case against a coal-fired power plant that resulted in the largest single environmental settlement in US history. She earned a Gold Medal from the US Environmental Protection Agency for the same work earlier this year.
