Every faculty and staff member at Oregon is 鈥渆xtremely focused on the student experience.鈥 鈥淵ou can always get ahold of your professor, and the Dean even holds office hours, allowing you to go and discuss whatever you'd like with him,鈥 says a student. For common occurrences like clinics, externships and registration, the 鈥渁mazingly helpful鈥 administration 鈥渉as made everything flow very easily.鈥 Conversely, if you have a special situation, 鈥渁dministrators are always available to meet and discuss solutions with you.鈥 鈥淭he school is small enough that you really get to know the faculty and administration, and they will help you in any way they can to network and get jobs,鈥 says a 2L (though some admit that the school 鈥渃ould use more career services related to jobs out of state鈥). The school鈥檚 major focus is on public interest law, but it has 鈥渁 high number of specialized programs and great faculty that allow for students to get a great education in their area of interest,鈥 and 鈥渋s very supportive of students who want to pursue non-Big Law careers.鈥
The classroom experience is 鈥渧ery collaborative,鈥 and members of the 鈥渆mpowered student body鈥 are supportive of one another all hours of the day. Students do worry that the University of Oregon (and law schools in general) are 鈥渘ot concerned enough about practical lawyering skills,鈥 and wish that the administration could hurry along the process for creating even more clinics. 鈥淚n order for the legal job market to weather this ongoing crisis, law schools must take swift measures to make law schools more affordable, practical, and efficient,鈥 says one. Top programs and centers such as the Appropriate Dispute Resolution Center, the Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics, and the Center for Law and Entrepreneurship鈥檚 Small Business Clinic (which assists small and micro-businesses) help to offset this need and add to the school鈥檚 reputation.
The law school has addressed these issues through offering nine different clinical opportunities each year wither between 110 and 180 seats. There is also a robust externship program. Top programs and centers such as the Appropriate Dispute Resolution Center, the Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics, and the Center for Law and Entrepreneurship鈥檚 Small Business Clinic (which assists small and microbusinesses) help to offset most other experiential complaints and add to the school鈥檚 reputation.

鈥淪tudent groups are very active on campus,鈥 and this social bunch take advantage whenever they can find the time. The 鈥済eographically breathtaking location鈥 provides 鈥渂iking trails, hills to climb, [and]outdoor activities galore,鈥 which is par for the course of any Oregonian (less than half of the student body is an Oregon resident when they enroll).
