Michelle Black

Picture
Michelle Black has been with Chatten-Brown, Carstens & Minteer since 2008. She received her Juris Doctorate from UCLA School of Law in May 2008 after a course of study that emphasized environmental and administrative law. While at UCLA, Michelle served as an editor-in-chief of the UCLA Journal of Environmental Law and Policy, a board member of the UCLA Environmental Law Society, and conducted faculty-directed research on the role of the California judiciary in CEQA enforcement.

​Michelle also gained valuable experience with both government agencies and nonprofits during summer clerkships with United States Department of Justice's Environmental Enforcement Section and San Diego Coastkeeper. She also spent a semester with the Frank G. Wells Environmental Law and Policy Clinic, where she collaborated with Endangered Habitats League. Prior to attending law school, Michelle earned a B.A. in biology and government from Claremont McKenna College and worked for the California Integrated Waste Management Board in plastics recycling technology.
