Great Rivers welcomes our newest staff attorney, Ethan Thompson, to the team. Ethan received his JD from Washington University in St. Louis and his Masters of Political Science from Central European University in Budapest, Hungary.

While studying for his JD, Ethan worked at the University’s Interdisciplinary Environmental Law Clinic and was awarded the Mary Colier Hitchcock Prize for his work on The Washington University Journal of Law & Policy. He clerked for the Maryland Attorney General and then at the Environment & Natural Resources Division of the United States Department of Justice.

In his spare time, he enjoys playing trombone, coaching youth baseball, and hiking and swimming around the Potomac River. He will move from the DC area to St. Louis in January 2022.
