"We have been so pleased with their quality that we've hired only Empire students for years. The results have been splendid for us and our clerks. The students have written wonderful legal briefs that have been used by the California Supreme Court in Three Strikes cases, have tried jury trials in our local courts, and have made a tremendous contribution to my office." - Bruce Kinnison, Sonoma County Chief Deputy Public Defender, Professor of Criminal Law
