The Udall Center has named Caylin J. Goldey Barter, a recent graduate of the UA James E. Rogers College of Law, as the recipient of the 2013 Fisher Prize in Environmental Law and Public Policy.
Barter's award-winning essay, "Defining the Necessary Role and Appropriate Level of Risk in Helicopter-Accessed Wilderness Skiing," was chosen by faculty reviewers as the best submission in this year's competition.
The Fisher Prize, established through an initial endowment by former Pima County Superior Court Judge Lillian S. Fisher, is awarded annually by the Udall Center to a student in the UA law college or to a UA graduate student for an essay addressing an environmental law or public policy topic. The competition is judged each year by faculty in the law college.
Since 1997, the Udall Center has awarded the Fisher Prize to 25 UA students. The Center publishes selected prize-winning papers in its monograph series.
