Judith Leonard has always been interested in non-profit organizations, even before she became a lawyer. In addition to working as a government lawyer, she worked in-house at the University of North Carolina before her current job as vice president for legal affairs and general counsel at The University of Arizona.
In June, she moves on to her newest appointment, as general counsel of the Smithsonian Institution, where she will manage the 17-person legal department, coordinate litigation with the Department of Justice and represent the institution in administrative proceedings.
