Law Faculty

A Welcome From Dean Parry

Student success is a core value at Lewis & Clark. Our faculty are not only accomplished scholars and experts in their fields; they are also passionate and dedicated teachers. Your professors will know you by name, and they will be available outside of class to meet with you to explain difficult concepts, discuss issues, and offer advice about classes and careers.

Our faculty directory provides a brief overview of our professors: their biography, their CV, their most recent publications, as well as the courses they teach. Professors strive to teach courses that reflect developments and trends in the law, as well as fundamental legal concepts. You can view a complete list of all courses we have taught in recent years on the Registrar pages.

Our curriculum extends beyond the classroom, and we have extensive opportunities for you to develop legal skills and experience the practice of law in clinics, externships, moot court competitions, and legal practicums. Some of these classes and experiences are taught by our full-time faculty, while others are taught by adjunct professors who have deep experience in the practice of law. You can learn more about our adjunct faculty in the adjunct faculty directory. The knowledge and skills you gain in your classes will give you an advantage when seeking employment and beginning your own practice of law.

We pride ourselves on our collaborative culture at Lewis & Clark. We are committed to creating an institutional culture of belonging, where all community members can fully participate such that they can teach, lead, grow and critically engage in a dynamic global world. Our singular mission is to create a supportive and rigorous intellectual environment in which our students develop the legal knowledge, critical thinking, practical skills, and values that empower them to excel as ethical and engaged professionals in a diverse and dynamic world.

Welcome!
