His major publications include "Mountains Without Handrails," "Water Law – Planning and Policy," and "Defending the Environment."
A former CU law professor, Sax was appointed as the Counselor to the Secretary of the Interior and Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy at the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1994.
