Shoshana Grossman

lewis & clark college - law

Shoshana Grossman grew up on the rivers of Missouri, spending as much time outside as she, her dad, and his ability to unravel fishing line could manage. While in college at Washington University in St. Louis, Shoshana participated in the Pathfinder Program in Environmental Sustainability and canvassed for Environment America’s Grand Canyon National Monument campaign. Shoshana’s passion for public lands management and protection began during her first season as an interpretive ranger at Arches National Park. Shoshana continued returning to Arches and Mesa Verde National Parks during summers before transitioning into summer biological science work at Grand Teton and Glacier National Parks. Shoshana came to law school from a background in land management with a desire to effectuate change in the world of land conservation and protection, specifically at the intersection of public lands, waters, and Indigenous law. Shoshana has engaged with her community at Lewis & Clark Law School as a public lands project coordinator for Northwest Environmental Defense Center, a Native American Law Students Association board member, and an incoming Environmental Law Review form and style editor. For her 1L summer, Shoshana worked as the clerk for Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance. She will work for Western Environmental Law Center in Montana this summer. Shoshana loves few things as much as pristine lands and rivers, particularly in the Southwest. In her free time, she enjoys skiing, biking, and spending as much time as possible on rivers with people who make precious time on public lands even more special. She is thrilled to continue using her knowledge, experience, and passion to advocate for and support these unique places.
