Kristin K. Mayes, an Arizona Corporation Commissioner who has helped Arizona become a national model for energy innovation, has been chosen to head the new Program on Law and Sustainability at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University.
Mayes will serve as professor of practice and faculty director of the new program, created in partnership with ASU’s Global Institute of Sustainability, where Mayes will be Senior Sustainability Scientist.
“Kris Mayes is a major national innovator in developing new paradigms for how utility companies and utility regulators will need to operate in the coming decades,” said College of Law Dean Paul Schiff Berman. “Kris joins Dan Bodansky, hired last year, and together they immediately will catapult this new program to a position of international leadership in an area of law and policy that is crucial both to our nation's economic future and our planet’s long-term survival.”
Bodansky is the ASU Lincoln Professor of Law, Ethics, and Sustainability, and an Affiliated Faculty member in both the College of Law’s Center for Law and Global Affairs and Center for Law, Science & Innovation, and in ASU’s School of Sustainability.
Mayes said she is thrilled to head the new program.
“I think this is a fantastic opportunity to take sustainability to a new level in Arizona and throughout the country,” Mayes said. “Our hope is that the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law will be the go-to law school for corporations, governments and non-profits for the implementation and design of sustainability law.”
