Comments from Attendees of Previous Boot Camps

The Course in General

  • "Boot Camp is great. It has provided real training strengths for our younger lawyers who come out of law school with a lot of hopes and aspirations, but need to know the nitty-gritty of environmental law -- Boot Camp has been...one of the very best opportunities that our younger lawyers have had to get a crash course on how to be an environmental lawyer. I highly recommend it to anybody who is trying to train young environmental lawyers who have the kind of enthusiasm you want but still need to learn how to be involved in environmental matters in a very specific way."
