Janette Brimmer
Janette Brimmer is a staff attorney at Earthjustice. She spent most of the first 20+ years of her law career
working to protect the forest, lakes, and prairies of Minnesota (with a brief
stint in her home state of Wisconsin). Janette attended the University of
Wisconsin-Madison for both undergrad and law school, receiving her J.D. in
1986. Her law career has involved private practice, working for the Attorneys
General of Wisconsin and Minnesota, and serving as the Legal Director for the
Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy. Janette also taught Environmental
and Natural Resources Law at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul,
Minnesota and at the University of Minnesota, College of Natural Resources. She
intends to spend the next 20+ years (or more!) working to protect the
Northwest. In her spare time she roots around in her garden, reads a ridiculous
amount, romps with her two big dogs, and bikes, hikes and camps.
