Professor Anthony Moffa joined the University of Maine School of Law as a visiting associate professor in the fall of 2016. In 2023, he earned tenure and was promoted to the rank of professor of law.

Professor Moffa is a broad and prolific environmental law scholar whose work has appeared in traditional and specialized journals (including the Utah Law Review, the Harvard Environmental Law Review, and the Stanford Environmental Law Journal), as well as books and popular media. That work has largely focused on trying to find novel approaches to addressing climate change within underexplored statutes, common law jurisprudence, historical practice, methods, and theory.

��򽴫ý�Haub Law has a stellar environmental law program, and I am honored to be named a Haub Visiting Scholar,��򽴫ý� said Professor Moffa. ��򽴫ý�Haub Law��򽴫ý�s faculty and students are consistently at the pinnacle of environmental law and I look forward to engaging in meaningful conversations and collaborative efforts towards a better environmental future.��򽴫ý�

At Maine Law, Professor Moffa teaches environmental law courses and torts, and received the Professor of the Year Award in 2018 and 2021. Prior to joining the Maine Law faculty, Professor Moffa served in the General Counsel��򽴫ý�s Office of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. He also clerked for Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV on the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts and Judge Kermit Lipez on the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Portland. Professor Moffa graduated magna cum laude from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania and earned a law degree from Yale Law School.

In their roles at Haub Law, Haub Visiting Scholars collaborate with faculty, guest lecture classes, and work closely with students in the Environmental Law Program and others. Funding for the Haub Visiting Scholars was made possible by a gift from the Haub family in recognition of the essential role of environmental science, informatics and other technology and allied fields towards formulating environmental policy and law.
