“When I was hanging a shingle just after law school, I wanted a way to build experience and fight the good fight for my beloved Chesapeake Bay. Chesapeake Legal Alliance offered the perfect avenue to meet both goals. Of the pro bono matters I handled through CLA, one, in particular, enabled me to cut through burdensome bureaucratic red tape to install a living shoreline on my home river, the Severn, and build a network in the environmental community in Annapolis, which helped me land a job as your South RIVERKEEPER years later. The impact CLA has for clean water and the legal profession can not be overstated.”
