What kind of student applies to the University of Oregon School of Law?

• If you desire a rigorous intellectual challenge, Oregon is a good match for you. The academic program is led by outstanding scholar-teachers, ensuring that the academic experience is both rich and rewarding. The quality and quantity of faculty scholarship distinguishes Oregon as the only school in the state to merit Order of the Coif membership.

• If you value a broad approach to your legal education, apply to Oregon. While our curriculum boasts several signature programs that are nationally recognized, Oregon offers you 10 certificate programs and four joint degree programs, offered concurrently with other schools and departments at the university. There are also seven clinics and three law journals.

• If you wish to study in a small, collegial environment, Oregon is the place for you. Oregon has remained intentionally small since its founding in 1884. With 180 first-year students, we are the smallest public law school on the West Coast, guaranteeing a friendly, supportive community.

• If you seek broad career options, apply to Oregon. Our students have the benefit of a network of more than 5,500 alumni, many of whom work in Seattle and Portland. Oregon graduates are also found on Wall Street, Washington D.C., Chicago, and in the major cities of the Western U.S.

• If you desire a special setting for law school, Oregon is the right place. Situated in Eugene, a lively city of 145,000, the University of Oregon School of Law is set on the state's historic flagship campus. Eugene is near the southern tip of the Willamette valley, at the confluence of the McKenzie and Willamette Rivers, one hour from the Cascade Range and the Pacific Coast.

We welcome your application. Good luck and thank you.
