Board - Dave Grossman

Dave Grossman, the NAELS Alumni Chair, previously served as the founder and chair of the NAELS Joint Research Committee and was the President of the Yale Environmental Law Association. He started doing some environmental politics work with NJ Sierra Club while in college in the mid-90s, spent a summer with Save America's Forests in DC, worked after college for National Audubon Society doing endangered species grassroots organizing (and some work on horseshoe crab conservation), spent his law
school summers in Alaska (state AG's office) and Montana (Earthjustice), and clerked for the Alaska Supreme Court after law school.

Following his clerkship, Mr. Grossman became Howard Dean's environmental director in New Hampshire during the presidential primaries (and then organized lawyers for voter protection efforts). During the general election, Mr. Grossman worked with fellow NAELS board member Aimee Christensen at Environment2004, coordinating E'04's efforts in New Hampshire. After the election, he came to DC to work with fellow NAELS board member Durwood Zaelke at the office of the Secretariat of the International
Network for Environmental Compliance and Enforcement (INECE). He has now started his own environmental consulting practice.

Mr. Grossman published an article in 2003 on the feasibility of using tort-based claims -- particularly public nuisance -- as the basis for litigation against certain industry sectors for their substantial contribution to harms caused by climate change. A public nuisance suit was filed 2 years later by 8 states and the city of NY.

Mr. Grossman received his A.B. from Princeton Univeristy and his J.D. from Yale Law School.
