  I took Professor Eubanks' Agricultural Policy and Environmental Law class at American University's Washington College of Law in the fall of 2012. In this class, I was struck by his passion for the topic, as well as his efforts to encourage students to incorporate their interests and backgrounds into the class discussions and coursework. Professor Eubanks effectively conveyed the complex and varied aspects of agricultural policy and environmental law in a very limited amount of time, and designed the class so that each student can use this knowledge as a springboard into further research in their own specific area of interest. Further, through his mentoring, Professor Eubanks demonstrated a genuine desire to help students advance their legal careers in ways that extend beyond the classroom. For example, when discussing the final paper for his class, Professor Eubanks made it very clear that he was available to work with students to develop a paper that could be published in a scholarly journal in order to benefit students in their post-graduation job search. This is something that not many professors offer, and I had not previously even considered this a possibility. I worked with Professor Eubanks to improve my paper, and he consistently provided me with prompt, helpful responses to my questions. When it came time to submit my paper to law reviews, he guided me through aspects of the publication process that were new to me and ultimately helped me secure various offers for publication. In addition, he continues to provide me with useful career advice for finding jobs in the public interest environmental and animal law sector. I have found his encouragement and guidance to be invaluable, and would highly recommend him as both a lecturer and mentor.

  Bill, in his capacity as VLS faculty, met with me, a 3L VLS Student, in his DC office during my Semester in Practice with the US Senate Ag Committee. During that meeting he provided valuable career advice and offered to review my job search materials. His counseling has been very helpful in my post-law school job search. In subsequent meetings, Bill has continued to be interested in my long-term career success. It is obvious that he not only cares about student learning, but also their ability to use that education to create positive change. Bill has gone the extra mile to help me and I expect he does the same for any organization he affiliates with. I'd highly recommend him for any future pursuits, academic or otherwise.

  The often onerous tasks of an Articles Editor at a Law Review are made pleasant when you work with an author as conscientious and agreeable as Bill. Bill was eager to make changes we both agreed would help his piece and stayed ahead of legislative moves impacting his work so I didn't have to. This uncommon diligence multiplies Bill's effectiveness as a writer and as an attorney.
