Professor Corbett teaches Alternative Dispute Resolution, Administrative Law, Employment Law, and Negotiations.

To his students, Professor Corbett brings a wealth of practice experience. He is an arbitrator and mediator and formerly a trial attorney with the National Labor Relations Board in Washington, D.C. (Appellate Court Division of General Counsel) and Legal Counsel to a U.S. Senator. He is a member of the National Academy of Arbitrators.

A native of Wyoming, Professor Corbett obtained a J.D. degree from the University of Wyoming School of Law and LL.M. from Harvard University School of Law. He joined The University of Montana School of Law in 1976.

Professor Corbett and his wife have three children (a daughter and her husband are graduates of the UM Law School), they both ride motorcycles, and Professor Corbett is a member of the world's 17th greatest blues band, "Treated & Released." (You can hear the band at any one of a number of Missoula's finest watering holes.)
