University of Colorado Law School student Samantha Crosby ('28) is this year’s Conscience Bay Company Western Water Policy Fellow. The Conscience Bay Company Western Water Policy Fellowship, initiated in 2023 by leaders of the Conscience Bay Company, is awarded each year to a Colorado Law student on the basis of academic performance, commitment to public service, and interest in the study of Western water law and policy. To the extent practicable, each Conscience Bay Company Western Water Policy Fellow will focus on a specific project in advancing innovative solutions for sustainable management of water in the Western United States.

Samantha Crosby is a 1L student at the University of Colorado Law School. She grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona and spent a lot of her childhood on the water in Arizona — Bartlett Lake, Lake Powell, etc. Watching the Phoenix area expand despite water shortages led to her interest in water law. She hopes to explore the water policy issues impacting her new community in Colorado and her community back home in Arizona. She's hopeful that her research through the Fellowship will supplement her learning in the environmental classes she plans to take throughout her time at Colorado Law and give her an interesting perspective on the legal issues that impact Western water policy.Ìý
