Dean's Newsletter February 2023
Dear friends,

We have a stellar faculty at Lewis & Clark Law School and I am most pleased when their many accomplishments are recognized! Congratulations to Samir Parikh and Juliet Stumpf who were recently elected to the prestigious American Law Institute, and to Caroline Lobdell, who teaches as an adjunct professor and leads the Western Resources Legal Center, for receiving the 2022 Oregon State Bar Environmental Natural Resources Section Leadership Award.

Congratulations also to those faculty members leading important symposia including Samir Parikh who recently organized a program at the University of Pennsylvania on private equity. Next month, March 26 and 27, David Schraub will lead a scholar-packed event on Law vs. Antisemitism here at the law school. (CLE credit available!)

Our Spring semester is packed with exciting events! Students are hard at work preparing for the Public Interest Law Project (PILP) Auction this Saturday, February 25 – which will be held in person after three long years. PILP raises summer stipend awards for law students to do vital work in community organizations. We hope you will RSVP - links are below in the events section. For those of you who can’t make it, please consider supporting our students with a donation.

On March 9 we celebrate the Huffman Lecture featuring Judge Janice Rogers Brown. On March 11, at the Distinguished Honors Awards, we will celebrate three outstanding alums, Rex Malott '76, Lawrence Pittman ’19 and Katie Kauffman ’12; and two beloved professors, Amy Bushaw and Henry Drummonds, who are retiring this year. Seating is limited so please RSVP now if you plan to join us.

I look forward to seeing you soon!

Warmest wishes,
Dean Jennifer Johnson
