He entered into law school primarily interested in the University of Arizona’s Indigenous People’s Law and Policy program, was a member of the Native American Law Students Association, and participated in the school’s Tribal Justice Clinic. Prior to joining Emory Law, Echols was a staff attorney for the Pima County Office of Children’s Counsel where he represented minors in dependency, severance, and guardianship actions. Before becoming a licensed Arizona attorney he clerked for a judge on the Pima County Juvenile Bench, an opportunity which drew his attention in part due to the Indian Child Welfare Act cases that the Court presided over. As a generalist, Echols has a broad range of experience and interests that he is able to draw upon to advise Emory Law students.
