Law Clerks will participate in staff, partner, and stakeholder meetings, webinars, hearings, and phone calls, along with research and writing projects. Throughout the summer, CLA staff take Summer Law Clerks on regular field trips to learn about the watershed, meet partner organizations, and understand water quality best management practices firsthand.
