Despite these differences, my study shows that startup lawyers are actively facilitating convergence between Midwest deal practices and coastal deal practices, and that this convergence is crucial to fostering rapid growth in emerging startup ecosystems such as the Midwest.</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div>In August, Paige Wilson will join Colorado Law as Clinical Professor of Law and Director of the Entrepreneurial Law Clinic.

Before I moved to academia, nearly my entire legal career was in Colorado. Whether internships during law school, clerking at both the state and federal levels, or working at the Colorado Attorney General鈥檚 Office, I鈥檝e been privileged with remarkable mentors and teammates (many of whom are CU Alums!). It鈥檚 a treat to return the favor and help teach and mentor budding members of the bar. And, selfishly, I can鈥檛 wait to learn from and work with my colleagues. Colorado Law is unmatched in the breadth and depth of its environmental faculty and is filled with rockstars across the spectrum.</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">More personally, it didn鈥檛 feel quite right to be so far from the mountains. I鈥檓 thrilled to be back in the action and a stone鈥檚 throw away from world class rock climbing and skiing.&nbsp;</span><span> &nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>Can you share a bit about any current projects you are working on?</strong></span><span><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>TD</strong>: A project about to come off the press, </span><a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4922177" rel="nofollow"><span lang="EN-US">Unwritten Administrative Law and the Regulatory Last Mile</span></a><span lang="EN-US">, identifies a missing link in cooperative federalism: state administrative law. Many environmental statutes, like the Clean Water Act or Clean Air Act, are implemented by states through state statutes and regulations. That means state, not federal, administrative law often governs agency action. I completed a fifty-state survey of state administrative law, finding that it鈥檚 undeveloped along a number of metrics, and argue that this 鈥渞egulatory last mile鈥� has ramifications for how well both federalism and cooperative administration are working.&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">Another paper, Environmental Rights, Original Meaning, and the Separation of Powers, offers a historical account of state rights to a 鈥渉ealthful environment,鈥� found in seven state constitutions. Environmental rights have made headlines because of successes in places like Montana and Hawai鈥檌, but there hasn鈥檛 been a comprehensive analysis of the ratifying debates. The article excavates this history to learn what people thought these rights were meant to do, and how courts and executives were meant to implement them. Contrary to accounts about the limitations of courts in the implementation of environmental rights provisions, this historical record shows that the framers and the public believed that courts were integral partners in their enforcement.&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>How does your past experience practicing law inform your approach as a legal scholar and teacher?</strong></span><span><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>TD</strong>: I try to let on-the-ground practice and realities drive my research and theoretical conclusions, and I think that stems from time in practice. As a lawyer, there are so many legal arguments you can make and cases you can string together, but there is always some bit of reality in the way. That might be consequences on the state or agency in adopting a particular legal framework. Or, even if you鈥檙e 鈥渞ight鈥� on the law, there might be serious environmental effects. Having a keen understanding of what is going on and theorizing out from there helps contextualize my scholarship.&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">In the classroom, I like to use the same approach, but in the reverse direction. We鈥檙e often teaching high-level concepts with the goal of piecing together the individual threads and doctrines into a cohesive narrative. It鈥檚 important to step back and root these concepts in the trade of being a lawyer. Whenever I can, I want to show my students how these doctrines and rules operate in practice, and why they鈥檙e important for the lawyer鈥檚 lawyer, and not just the law student or academic.&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>What inspired your interest in environmental, administrative, and property law?</strong></span><span><strong> &nbsp;</strong></span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>TD</strong>: My interest in the environment was actually cultivated in Colorado at science camp as a kid! That started me on a path of thinking about the natural world and how we interact with it. The law seemed like a natural step in helping protect the places where I grew up. But as I learned more, I saw how complicated environmental law is. 鈥淓nvironmental law鈥� encompasses so many things and relies on nearly infinite interacting parts to be successful. So to understand and write about environmental law, I needed to grasp how statutes are put into practice, which led me to administrative law. But that鈥檚 only part of the story. Individuals influence the scope and impact of environmental law, too, which requires understanding property law. It鈥檚 a fun, tangled web!</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span lang="EN-US">&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>What is your proudest career accomplishment so far?</strong></span><span><strong> &nbsp;</strong></span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>TD</strong>: It might just be getting to join Colorado Law!

However, after taking American Indian Law and International Law classes, I found that I could forge a career that would allow me to continue working for social change while grounding in my Indigenous identity.

I had the fortune of working with international clients who challenged my own perceptions of law and justice. I experienced profound satisfaction from enhancing my research, writing, and personal skills in international law. Most importantly, Clinic Director Christina Stanton鈥檚 mentorship helped to transform me into a confident and sensitive advocate.</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>What sort of career do you hope to pursue after your fellowship has concluded?&nbsp;</strong></span><span><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>&nbsp;HA</strong>: I think I want to do a little bit of everything, which is not hard in the field of American Indian Law.

Day 1 came to a close with a speech by Roger Fragua from the Flower Hill Institute that highlighted the need for cooperation and compassion, instilling a sense of purpose and commonality that perfectly teed up a lovely happy hour reception.</span></p> <div class="align-right image_style-medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <div class="imageMediaStyle medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/law/sites/default/files/styles/medium_750px_50_display_size_/public/2025-06/54583197389_4763d730d9_o.jpg?itok=TJ8_Pf13" width="750" height="455" alt="river conference"> </div> </div> <p><span>Day 2 began with an update from tribal leaders and representatives on their current situations and concerns for the future. For much of our history, tribal voices have been excluded from the decision-making process, so it was deeply impactful to hear their perspectives shared with clarity, strength, and vision. Next on the agenda was a film screening of </span><em><span>What the River Knows&nbsp;</span></em><span>that not only shined a light on the environmental and cultural significance of Glen Canyon, but it gave the audience an opportunity to appreciate the raw beauty of the region through stunning cinematography and documentation. Rounding out day 2, presentations from state and federal officials uncovered the competing interests of the varied stakeholders that rely on the Colorado River. Despite some disagreements, the overarching theme of cooperation and understanding gave way to a sense of hope that an equitable agreement is within reach.</span></p> <div class="align-left image_style-medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <div class="imageMediaStyle medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/law/sites/default/files/styles/medium_750px_50_display_size_/public/2025-06/54583191744_2d734f335c_o.jpg?itok=Q1mKxPmi" width="750" height="461" alt="river conference "> </div> </div> <p><span>Bringing the conference to a close was a discussion on the long-term goals and aspirations for successful management of the Colorado River.

I grew up in a rural town in the mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania but have spent most of my post-grad life in cities, so I'm thrilled to be so close to mountains and streams again. My family and I love to be outside as much as possible and so we are looking forward to being a part of 91PORN's close-knit community where folks are always looking for a reason to get up from the computer and go for a trail run or bike ride!</span><span> &nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>Can you share a bit about any current projects you are working on?</strong></span><span><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>AS</strong>: My work is focused on understanding how state institutions鈥攇overnors, courts, legislatures, etc.鈥攕hape public policy. Recently, I've been writing about state supreme courts鈥攖heir powers, limits, and so on鈥攁nd how they participate in governance. I'm just wrapping up a paper that studies how high courts have used their administrative power鈥攖he same power they use to set policies about courtroom closures due to weather or policies about wearing a mask during a pandemic鈥攖o expand individual rights and remedies.</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span>&nbsp;</span><span lang="EN-US">Longer term, I'm working on a paper that builds on this same project but studies how state supreme courts make and shape public policy outside of adjudication. We typically think of courts and judicial power as limited to resolving legal disputes鈥攚ithout a lawsuit before them, they can't act鈥攂ut high courts in several states have addressed important issues from criminal justice to wealth inequality without a party ever filing a brief or complaint. This project will take a deep dive on this aspect of state judicial practice and its implications on state distribution of powers.</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">This summer I'm working on a project focused on state judicial independence by studying relations between state judiciaries and legislatures. Across the country, state legislatures are attempting to entrench policy preferences by reshaping the structure of the judiciary鈥攍ike, creating special courts to hear important cases and choosing the judges who decide them. This project will shine a light on this phenomenon and explore its implications for democratic norms and judicial autonomy.&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>How does your experience with the State Democracy Research Initiative inform your approach as a legal scholar and teacher?</strong></span><span><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>AS</strong>: I split my time at SDRI between scholarly research and advocacy鈥攆iling briefs in state supreme courts where we thought our research on state constitutional law was helpful and advising members of state government on thorny questions of state public law. That experience has provided a helpful perspective on the role state and local institutions play in our legal system. As a scholar, it helped shape my research agenda by helping me locate where my interests overlap with the gaps in our understanding of how these institutions work. As a teacher, my experience will hopefully help students recognize that beyond the federal system, state and local institutions provide potent, but perhaps overlooked, pathways for them to advance the interests of the clients and causes they'll be representing after leaving the classroom.</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>What drew you to pursuing a legal career?</strong></span><span><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>AS</strong>: Before law school, I worked at a consulting firm that often advised clients who were in the midst of litigation, which meant I often worked alongside lawyers. Without any lawyers in my family, this gave me a better appreciation for the role attorneys and courts can play in making society better (or worse!). The attorneys I was often working alongside helped me see that what I liked about the job was its overlap with the law. After a few years of letting those hints and suggestions percolate, I made the jump to law school.</span><span> &nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>What is your proudest career accomplishment so far</strong></span><span><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p></div><div><p><span><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span><span lang="EN-US"><strong>AS</strong>: I was deeply proud to serve as a law clerk to Chief Justice Stuart Rabner on the New Jersey Supreme Court. Clerkships are a terrific experience, especially for recent graduates, as you are typically exposed to a wide variety of areas of the law and gain invaluable mentorship, and my experience was no exception. I learned so much assisting the Chief Justice throughout the Term as he grappled with difficult cases touching on tort law, criminal sentencing, corporate law, voting rights, and more. It was also invaluable as a recent graduate to work for and learn from someone who is committed to integrity and the rule of law on a molecular level. My experience was especially humbling since, as the highest court in the state, the New Jersey Supreme Court has the final say on nearly all the legal issues that it resolves.</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US">Professor Sopko will be presenting a talk titled 鈥淭he Power of State Constitutions鈥� at Mini Law School on September 3.
