Two of the law school’s alumni will be receiving the Oregon Women Lawyers’ most prestigious awards. Judge Julie Frantz ’75 has been selected as the Betty Roberts Award recipient which recognizes an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to promoting women in the legal profession and in the community. Kasia Rutledge ’07 will receive the Mercedes Deiz Award for her outstanding contribution to promoting minorities in the legal profession and in the community.
