Nagle is the co-author of “Property Law” and “The Law of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Management." He previously worked in the United States Department of Justice, first as an attorney in the Office of Legal Counsel where he advised other executive branch agencies on a variety of constitutional and statutory issues, and later as a trial attorney conducting environmental litigation.
