And we accomplish these goals in a positive, collaborative environment.
Two Locations
Eugene Campus
Located in Eugene, Oregon, the University of Oregon campus is an easy drive to both the Pacific Ocean and the Cascade Mountains. The Law School is located on the east side of campus and across from Hayward Field. Oregon Law students experience the distinct advantage of learning in a small, connected community within a large public research university.
Portland Third-Year Program
Our Portland Program is housed on the NE Portland UO Campus. Students who study in Portland have the unique opportunity to build a portfolio of real-world experience, engage in specialized coursework and personal connections and access to mentoring and networking opportunities with some of the city’s most prominent lawyers and more than 45,000 UO alumni.
Founded in 1884 when most lawyers received their legal education by “reading law” while working in lawyer’s offices, Oregon Law was the first and remains the only public law school in the State of Oregon. Judge Matthew Deady, the president of the UO Board of Regents and a judge at the time, called the School of Law the “hope and pride of the state.”
Diversity is a crucial and invaluable component of the intellectual, educational, and social mission of our community. At Oregon Law, we believe that strengthening our efforts around diversity, equity, and inclusion is critical to our overall efforts to achieve excellence as a competitive, world-class law school.
Our immediate aim is to foster a more inclusive learning and working environment for students, faculty, staff, and community partners—one that is successful, thriving, and more resilient because of its diversity. Our broader aim is to learn, teach, and practice the principles of equity and justice in all we do, helping to ensure that all people have the opportunity to grow, contribute, and develop.
