Oregon Supreme Court Judges hearing cases at Oregon Law in March 2019

Annual Oregon Supreme Court Visit

A long-standing tradition of illuminating the legal process.


Each year, the Oregon Supreme Court, hosted by Oregon Law’s nationally ranked LRW program, visits Oregon Law to hear oral arguments and engage directly with our students and the broader legal community. The court’s annual visit, which began in 1977, has become a highlight of the law school calendar.

During the visit, the court hears oral arguments in two pending cases before an audience of first-year law students, Lane County Bar members, and the general public. After the proceedings, justices answer questions from the audience. Student questions have touched on judicial approaches to statutory interpretation, career paths, and post-graduate clerkship opportunities.
