ABA profileLewis & Clark Profile

The Northwestern School of Law of Lewis and Clark College (also known as Lewis & Clark Law School), is an American Bar Association-approved private law school in Portland, Oregon.

The law school received ABA approval in 1970[5] and joined the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) in 1973.[6]

Lewis & Clark Law School offers the Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree, including a range of scholastic concentrations and legal certificate programs, as well as Master of Laws (LLM) and Master of Studies in Law (MSL) degrees in environmental, natural resources, and energy law, and LLM and MSL degrees in animal law.

Each class in the three-year J.D. program has approximately 180 students. The former dean of Lewis & Clark Law School is Jennifer Johnson, Erskine Wood Sr. Professor of Law, a securities law scholar and arbitration expert, as well as a member of the American Law Institute.[7] Dean Johnson will be stepping down from her role in August 2024, to be replaced by former President of Albany Law School Alicia Ouellette.[8] John Parry, the Edward Brunet Professor of Law, will serve as interim dean prior to Alicia Oullette taking up her post.[9]

Lewis & Clark law students can complete their degrees on full-time or part-time schedules, take courses during the day or evening, and focus in a number of legal specialties. The institution has a general law review and a range of specialty programs, including environmental law, public interest law, and the lawyering program. According to Lewis & Clark's official 2018 ABA-required disclosures, 75.8% of the Class of 2018 obtained full-time, long-term, JD-required or JD-preferred employment nine months after graduation.[10]

Campus grounds

The law school grounds are adjacent to a forested natural area, replete with 14-miles of biking and jogging trails in Tryon Creek State Park. The Law School is 4-miles from downtown, in the Southern hills of Portland, west of the Willamette River, at the base of the undergraduate campus of Lewis & Clark College.[11]

The Lewis & Clark College undergraduate, graduate school, and law campus grounds collectively occupy 137 acres (554,000 m2), centered on the M. Lloyd Frank Estate on Palatine Hill in the Collins View neighborhood of Southwest Portland.[citation needed]

History

Lewis & Clark Law School's origins began with the University of Oregon establishing a Department of Law in Portland in 1885. After the Oregon State Legislature moved the program to Eugene, Oregon in 1915, several law faculty members resisted the move, and formed the Northwestern College of Law.

In 1965, the faculty and overseers of Northwestern College of Law joined with the president and trustees of Lewis & Clark College to incorporate the Northwestern School of Law of Lewis & Clark College.[12] Harold Wren was Dean of the law school from 1969 to 1972.

Today the college has over 100 faculty and staff.[13] Faculty members regularly appear as experts in legal proceedings, publish legal texts and contribute primary research findings to legal scholarship around the country.[14]

Law library

Legal research center

The Paul L. Boley Law Library is the largest law library in Oregon[15] and the second-largest in the Pacific Northwest[15] with a collection of over 505,000 volumes as of 2014. Boley is also home to clinical space and program offices.[16]

Animal Law Program

Lewis & Clark Law School is a pioneer in the field of animal law, it offered some of the first animal law courses in the world and in 1992 students founded the first Animal Law Conference in the U.S.[17] The Center for Animal Studies (CALS) was founded at the school in 2008, becoming the first formal animal law program in the world and eventually giving rise to the first Animal Law Clinic.[17] In 2012 CALS launched the first post-JD master of laws (LLM) in Animal Law.[18] The school has the top ranked animal law program in the United States.[19]

Rankings

The 2021 U.S. News & World Report ranked the school at 88 as a Tier 1 institution.[20] Individual programs continue to receive high marks: Lewis & Clark Law School's Animal Law Program is ranked 1st in the United States[19] and as of 2021, it ranked 1st of environmental law programs, according to U.S. News & World Report's rating system.[21] Meanwhile, the Lewis & Clark Part-Time Program was ranked 14th in the country as of 2021.[22]
