Before that, he served as an assistant attorney general for the State
of Colorado, representing state agencies in the enforcement of hazardous-waste

magna cum laude from the University of Michigan Law School, and received
a B.A. with honors in history from Brown University.
Besides working for the Independence Institute, Kopel is an associate policy analyst with the Cato Institute. In May 1999 he became director of the Center on the Digital Economy at the Heartland Institute. In 1998–99, he was an adjunct professor of law at New York University School of Law for his class, “Gun Control and Gun Rights.”

Additionally, Kopel writes frequently for Reason, Liberty (for which he is a contributing editor), Chronicles, and The American Guardian.
Kopel appears every Friday night as a commentator on KBDI Channel 12's public-affairs program "Colorado Inside-Out". He is the author of No More Wacos: What's Wrong with Federal Law Enforcement and How to Fix It.
