Mike Zoeller is a Senior Attorney with the Conservation Law Center leading its Environmental Legal Aid Program in Hammond, Whiting, East Chicago, and Gary, Indiana. Mike grew up in Clark County where he spent much of his time riding his bike throughout southern Indiana. Mike received his undergraduate degree in Geography from Indiana University and moved to Washington, DC to work as a cartographer for the Defense Department. Once there, he obtained a law degree from Georgetown University Law Center and spent the next thirty years engaged in civil litigation at private firms, as a staff attorney for the federal court, with the Environmental Enforcement Section of the U.S. Department of Justice, and most recently with the Environmental Law & Policy Center. Throughout his career, Mike has gained extensive experience working with clients and members of the public who are unfamiliar with the law and their legal rights. Mike is excited to return to IU and to serve residents of the Region with their environmental legal needs.
