While at the University of Michigan, Mr. Moutz won the United States national championship in the Jessup Moot Court Competition, an award of excellence in the oral advocacy program, and was an assistant editor of the Michigan Journal of Law Reform. During law school, Mr. Moutz clerked for the Ohio Fifth District Court of Appeals in Canton, Ohio.
Mr. Moutz was admitted to practice law in Minnesota in 2000 and Colorado in 2002. He is a member of the Colorado Bar Association, the Boulder County Bar Association, the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association, and the NORML Legal Committee.
