学生奖状
"I could not be happier with the practical water 法律 education I gained at McGeorge. I found a great job representing public agencies in actions to recover clean-up costs from companies that pollute groundwater with toxic chemicals right after graduation, 感谢我的教授们的帮助." — Bryan Barnhart, ’13, Litigation Associate at Miller, Axline & 索耶
"I greatly enjoyed taking the 水利法 Practice course. I particularly benefitted from the classroom simulations of complex water resources challenges 和 disputes. These simulations effectively provided condensed practical experience — enough to get your feet wet — into issues that often take years to resolve. I developed insights 和 perspectives that will allow me to more effectively represent specific clients in actual water resources disputes." — Hanspeter Walter, ’06, Attorney at 法律 at Kronick Moskovitz Tiedemann & 吉拉尔
"Regardless of where I end up in the long run—whether that be in areas of water quality, 水权, tribal water 法律 or even working on public policy issues — my experiences at McGeorge have provided a solid foundation 和 knowledge base that I am confident will contribute to a successful career." - Tori Sundheim, ’13, 14年水资源法法学硕士, 副司法部长, Nevada Attorney General’s Office – Division of Government 和 Natural Resources
