Welcome to the Jewish Legal Society Blog!

We recently had a fabulous networking event in February at The Lotus with local practicing attorneys. Although faced with the threat of a blizzard, JLS had a great showing and all of us in attendance enjoyed a great opportunity to not only get to better know our fellow JLS members, but also some of Portland’s legal professionals.

The fun really only just began with our February event as we have a great list of upcoming events still to come for this semester!
