ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
John Ruple is a Research Professor of Law at the University of Utah’s S.J. Quinney College of Law, and Director of the Wallace Stegner Center for Land, Resources & the Environment’s Law and Policy Program. He returns to the College of Law after serving as Senior Counsel in the White House Council on Environmental Quality where he provided legal advice on a range of issues involving federal public land management and preservation, mining law and critical mineral supply chain reform, transnational water pollution control, and National Environmental Policy Act review implementation. John has published widely on topics including permitting reform and national monument protection, and his work appears in leading academic journals including the Harvard Environmental Law Review, Columbia Journal of Environmental Law, and U.C. Berkeley’s Ecology Law Quarterly. He has served in federal and state government, worked in private practice, and volunteered on non-profit boards. He is committed to bringing his diverse experiences to bear in finding practical and balanced solutions to seemingly intractable natural resource management problems. When not working, you can find him recreating in the mountains of Utah and Idaho, and (still) trying to teach his 12-year old dog to swim.
