Martha Judy
Vermont Law School
Professor Martha Judy specializes in
Superfund, the cleanup of hazardous substances, and the effect of
environmental liabilities on behavior. At Vermont Law School, Professor
Judy has taught Torts, two courses that focus on the law of toxics and
hazardous substances (CERCLA or Superfund Law, and RCRA, the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act), and a unit on environmental
problem-solving within the General Practice Program.
Professor Judy earned her B.S.F. degree in wildlife management and
forestry from Purdue University in 1981 and her J.D. from Yale Law
School in 1989. Upon graduation, she worked as policy analyst in the
Office of Policy Research and Coordination in Montpelier, Vermont, for
two years, then served as director of Vermont Law School’s Superfund
Project for three years. She organized the research for the National
Commission on Superfund, a group of environmentalists, corporate CEOs,
citizens, and government leaders seeking consensus on ways to improve
the cleanup of Superfund sites. Professor Judy joined the faculty at
Vermont Law School in 1994 and was the first director of the law
school’s Environmental Semester in Washington program. She has testified
on hazardous materials, solid waste, recycling, and planning legislation
before the Vermont legislature and has testified before the Michigan
legislature on forestry and wildlife issues. She served as a facilitator
for the United States Environmental Protection Agency as it sought
feedback from citizens, environmentalists, local governments, and
industry on how to improve Superfund. Professor Judy serves as a member
of the Brookfield (Vermont) Planning Commission.
