Michael Duff joined the faculty of the University of Wyoming College of Law in 2006.  Professor Duff teaches classes in Introduction to Law, Labor Law, Administrative Law and Workers Compensation.  He also directs the law school's academic support program.

Prior to joining the UW faculty, Professor Duff was a social justice advocate. He spent nine years working as an attorney with the National Labor Relations Board, where he fought for the rights of employees in the workplace. Before his involvement in Federal workplace advocacy, Professor Duff worked for two years as an attorney with the nationally renowned workers compensation law firm of McTeague, Higbee & MacAdam of Topsham, Maine, where he represented injured workers and labor unions.

Before undertaking the study of law, Duff was for eleven years a union shop steward and blue-collar worker in the airline industry, leaving that occupation to attend the Harvard Law School.

Duff's writing will focus on collective workplace rights and a variety of issues arising under the National Labor Relations Act.
