"This conference helped me to realize how the different pathways one can take in environmental law fit together and relate to each other. The panels were insightful and interesting, but my favorite part of the conference was talking with practicing environmental lawyers and hearing what they do. Many were generous in taking the time to inform me about professional options, and I am grateful to have made new professional connections and friends. The conference also taught me how to learn in the classroom in ways that will help me in practice. I learned which areas of environmental law are in flux. This has helped and will continue to help me to adapt my learning in environmental law classes to leave Iowa Law ready to hit the ground running."
