Ellie Carl
Legal Fellow
Ellie Carl joined Riverkeeper's Legal Team in October 2025.
Ellie got her J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School in 2025, where she was the Managing Articles Editor of the Michigan Journal of Environmental and Administrative Law. During her summers, she interned at the Environmental Protection Agency Region II in New York and at the California Environmental Protection Agency's Department of Toxic Substances Control.
Prior to law school, she earned her B.A. from the University of Michigan in International Studies and French with a minor in Philosophy. She studied abroad in France while she was in college, and worked in Japan in between college and law school. As a Michigan native, her interest in environmental protection was driven in part by her love of the Great Lakes.
