“I was extremely impressed—but not surprised—by the students’ ability to jump into a project that was completely outside their expertise, learn quickly, and produce excellent work product in a short amount of time. I have long been convinced of the power of law students. This collaboration between Coastkeeper and the USC volunteers exemplifies that law students can make a huge impact when given the opportunity.
I’m very proud of the work that the students accomplished and proud that Coastkeeper was able to effectively harness their energy and enthusiasm to produce great results… it is truly awesome what a group of students—most of them with only a semester of law school under their belt—accomplished in three days.”

“The volunteer work that you have provided today has been essential, because it’s work we just can’t get done… we just don’t have the time available. The work that you have done has been incredibly helpful.”
