THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

MLSA is having our first general meeting of the year! We plan on talking about filling our 1L rep position, upcoming events, and our exciting new relationship with the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association. This new relationship can lead to potential externships, networking events, free membership and mentorships! Hope to see you there!

Come join the Minority Law Student Association, Latinx Law Society, Black Law Student Association, Asian/Pacific American Law Student Association, OutLaw, and Native American Law Student Association for lunch! The president’s of all these student groups will be on a panel discussing topics of diversity, being a minority, and how these student groups benefit our community.

L&C Law alums Kasia Rutledge and Rakeem Washington will lead an interactive workshop on how to discuss race. The workshop aims to equip attendees with tools and skills for effective and meaningful engagement. As present and future legal advocates, ignoring the race elephant in the room is not an option.

Please join MLSA in celebrating the annual MLSA Staff Appreciation Thanksgiving Dinner! This event hosts students, faculty, and staff to show thanks for all that the Lewis & Clark Law School staff provides for the law school community. We will be providing a thanksgiving feast in the LRC on November 11, 2014 from 4:30PM-6:00PM.

RSVP for a three hour bus tour lead by the Fair Housing Council of Oregon that will highlight how Oregon’s history of racism has shaped, and continues to shape, the geography of the greater Portland area.
