Law Review Editors and Staff

2007-2008 Law Review Editors:

Editors-In-Chief: Amy Scott Smith Amy is a Montana native trying to stake her claim in the Missoula community. When not at work or school, you can find her enjoying Missoula's parks and Montana's wilderness with her husband and two dogs, gardening, or spending quality time with friends and family. Helen Thigpen Helen is no autobiographer, but is super excited about this year's editors and staff.

Conference Editors: Kelley Hubbard Kelley is a third-year law student at the University of Montana.  She strongly believes in changing the world through effective grassroots organizing and has worked for several years for various good causes, including Montana Conservation Voters, Spokane County Domestic Violence Consortium, Montana Senior Citizens Association, and many progressive political campaigns.  A fourth-generation Montanan, Kelley enjoys all things out doors and is from Butte, America. Elizabeth White Elizabeth was born and raised in Georgia and grew up playing in the mountains of Appalachia. After moving West she worked in international and large landscape conservation and environmental education in the Canadian and U.S. Rocky Mountain Regions and Latin America. You can usually find her whitewater kayaking, biking or on the soccer field or working toward a career in environmental and natural resources law.

Publication Editors: Christopher Caruthers Mr. Carruthers hails from California, where he has worked during the summers as a legal intern at a private law firm. As the only editor that failed to submit any information about himself, his story, shrouded in mystery, must end here. Mac Smith Mac Smith hails from the glass capital of the world (Toledo, Ohio), and graduated from Wake Forest University in North Carolina with a bachelor degree in English, which he puts to good use with the Public Lands Law Review. When he is not hanging out on the law review vintage brown couch, Mac likes to fly-fish, play guitar, golf, ski, and spend time on the water. Mac also likes to travel, most recently to Croatia, New Zealand, and Spokane, Washington. Mac worked for the outdoor recreation program in undergrad, has worked for a law firm in Ohio, and currently clerks for a firm in Missoula. He volunteers for Big Brothers, Big Sisters, and has volunteered for the Nature Conservancy. Mac has a girlfriend, Andrea, and a new dog on the way. Mac has also seen Journey in concert, an event he considers life-altering

Business Editor: Rebecca Smith Rebecca is a passionate public land defender who enjoys hiking, camping, swimming in cold northern Rockies rivers, fishing, and naturalist studies. Her canine companion Sassafrass frequently accompanies her into the last (and dwindling) intact remaining wild areas in the U.S

Managing Editor: Jason Brown Jason is an Environmental Studies gradutate student, outdoor recreationalist (and leave-no-trace adherent), and college radio Dj. He hopes to make his mark as a relentlessly effective advocate for this planet and its inhabitants, and drive solutions to problems faced in the areas of energy production / consumption and land use planning. He spent an important part of his formative years in the backwoods of Maine for weeks at a time, in between semesters in Boston, Quito, and San Diego. He is especially grateful to family and old teachers for the doors that they have opened.
