Myrl L. Duncan
Professor of Law
"Teaching gives me the opportunity to explore legal subjects in depth, something you can't do in the rough-and-tumble practice of law. I love to read, think, create ideas, then interact with students. Not only do my teaching responsibilities match perfectly with the issues I care most about, but those issues are on the dynamic cutting edge of the law. I actually get paid to do the two things I love most: teach and continue to learn and think about the environment and ways to protect natural resources."
