Environmental Conflict Resolution
Adell L. Amos joined the law school faculty after practicing environmental and natural resources law for six years with the Solicitor's Office at the United States Department of the Interior. Amos represented and advised the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Park Service on state and federal water rights issues including work involving the Klamath, Snake, Columbia, Middle Rio Grande, and Gunnison River Basins. Additionally, she provided legal advice on the interaction of water law with other environmental statutes including the ESA, CWA, and NEPA.

Amos recently published an article entitled, "The Use of State Instream Flow Laws for Federal Lands: Respecting State Control While Meeting Federal Purposes" in Environmental Law. She has a forthcoming article in the Journal of Environmental Law and Litigation on hydropower reform and the Energy Policy Act of 2005. B.A. Drury College, J.D. University of Oregon (Coif).
