California Lawyer magazine has named Sky Stanfield ’05 Attorney of the Year in its environmental category. An associate at Farella Braun + Martel, Stanfield shared the award with Farella partner David Lazerwitz for their victory in Center for Biological Diversity, et al. v. U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which helped protect California’s Mojave desert from off-highway vehicle impacts. Part of a pro bono legal team, Stanfield and Lazerwitz represented seven of the 11 plaintiff environmental organizations. Their case demonstrated that governmental designation of off-highway vehicle routes in part of the California Desert Conservation Area violated both the Federal Land Policy and Management Act and National Environmental Policy Act.
