The Martin Luther King Jr. Endowed Lecture Series

Each year Lewis & Clark Law School hosts an endowed lecture honoring the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. made possible by a generous grant from alums Jacqueline Alexander ’07 and Lee Matthews ’73. The mission is to bring internationally recognized legal scholars, practitioners, jurists and civil rights leaders to Lewis & Clark to present a lecture to our law school community on issues of diversity, race relations, tolerance, and equal rights.
