Lewis & Clark Law School has a relatively small course load of required classes and offers a night program, bringing a large contingent of older and more experienced students to the classrooms, which 鈥渁dds a valuable, practical dimension to the learning experience.鈥 As one would expect from such an environmentally conscious institution, programs such as environmental and natural resources law and animal law are 鈥渦nparalleled.鈥 No matter what their specialization, the faculty is considered to be 鈥渋nspirational and knowledgeable enough to stimulate thinking beyond what鈥檚 required by the curriculum,鈥 and the school鈥檚 size 鈥渁llows for an ideal student/teacher ratio that goes further to foster a highly effective teaching environment.鈥 Lewis & Clark鈥檚 National Crime Victim Law Institute is another source of pride for the school, 鈥渓eading the way in an emerging field of law.鈥
Administrators are friendly, and accessible, 鈥渁lways willing to help out a student,鈥 and they keep the law school 鈥渞unning very smoothly.鈥 The research librarians are cited for being 鈥渧ery knowledgeable,鈥 and the Career and Professional Development Center also does its part to make sure students鈥 needs are met, though some would like to see more non-metro area firms on campus. For students who are interested in staying in the area after graduation, there is 鈥渉eavy support and involvement from the Portland legal community,鈥 and for others, 鈥渁lumni are distributed all around the world.鈥
Since the school and its student body are known for being nature-friendly, it follows that the buildings on campus are all 鈥済reen鈥 and 鈥渢ucked into a forested state park.鈥 This is nice, students say, because 鈥渨hen you are facing the gut-wrenching pain of law school, a 鈥榳alk in the park鈥 goes a long way.鈥 Students are quite pleased with the library and the newer building, Wood Hall, but many are clamoring for an update of the other facilities. Portland is universally beloved as 鈥渁 great place to live,鈥 though students say the parking situation could stand some improvements. A graduating student sums up life at the law school this way: 鈥淭he professors are passionate about what they teach, and the students actually want to help each other get ahead in school. And where else do you get to study while in an overly large tree house?鈥
