Lewis & Clark Law School
The Dog Days of Summer July 2019
Dear Friends,

Summertime at the law school – a time for faculty to catch up on major projects, engage in research and prepare for the upcoming school year. Our students are busy working in the community gaining invaluable practical experience. And of course, our 2019 graduates are studying for the bar exam.

It is also a time when more of our canine friends join staff members and profs on campus. Bruno, my Standard Poodle, and his BFF, Winnie, have lots of buddies here.

We love our dogs – they remind us of the most important things in life: unconditional love, purposeful work, sleep, and a bit of time for exercise and play.

On August 9th, we will welcome our new 1L Class for Orientation and our innovative two-week Legal Methods Course.

We look forward to a great new academic year. Watch for some exciting announcements this Fall!

Happy summer!
