“The environmental clinic gave me a chance to hear from respected attorneys in all areas of environmental practice; from government to nonprofit to a firm dedicated solely to environmental issues. It opened my eyes to the opportunities available for those who wish to improve the environment and gave me hands-on experience in doing just that.”
—Annie Kellough, Fall ’08
“Through the environmental clinic, I was able to gain practical experience and receive a glimpse of the different practice areas of environmental law. We had the opportunity to conduct a research project that had a direct influence on a bill presented at the Texas Legislature. The skills I gained through my work with the clinic will allow me to hit the ground running after law school.”
—Jill Hoffman, Fall ’08
“Working in the environmental clinic gave me the sort of hands on experience that cannot be found in other law school classes. A clinic is a great practical complement to the law school coursework.”
—Ade Shelley, Fall ’08
“Although the classes I had my first year were outstanding classes - rigorous, intellectually engaging, and taught by wonderful professors - there is nothing like having the chance to actually put the knowledge gained in these classes to work. And there is nothing more fulfilling than putting the knowledge gained in these classes to work for positive ends by advocating on behalf of people lacking a strong voice in the legal system.”
—Environmental Clinic Student, Fall '05
