"Our Portland offerings are enriched by guest speakers drawn from notable Portland law firms and the active business and investment community there." - Steve Bender, Director of Portland Programs and James and Ilene Hershner Professor of Law

Oregon Law's Portland Program builds academic and professional bridges for law students in the Portland area and facilitates outreach to the Portland legal and business community. Located in the historic White Stag Block in Portland's Old Town, the Portland Program offers students a dynamic, metropolitan learning environment.

New classes in business law, summer classes, exciting externship opportunities and job placement activities are just a few of our offerings to students. While enrolled in a Portland Semester, students participate in externships with prominent Portland companies while simultaneously taking business law courses on the new Portland campus.

Portland's legal and business professionals benefit from annual conferences, including the annual Business Innovation Conference, and continuing legal education (CLE) seminars.
