Lewis & Clark Law School

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 and joined the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) in 1973.

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. Dean Johnson will be stepping down from her role in August 2024, to be replaced by former President of Albany Law School Alicia Ouellette. John Parry, the Edward Brunet Professor of Law, will serve as interim dean prior to Alicia Oullette taking up her post.

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.
