Cornelius Honor Society Induction
Thirty-four graduates were inducted into the Cornelius Honor Society on May 27 during a special reception.
The society is named in honor of Dorothy L. Cornelius, who served the law school for 20 years, first as secretary and finally as dean of admissions and registrar. Her professionalism encouraged countless students; her warmth and support helped many students through to their own professional goals. Cornelius Honor Society members, selected annually by the faculty, are students who have distinguished themselves by their scholarship, leadership, and contribution to the law school community.

From the Dean
Speaking with students is one of my favorite parts of being dean. At Lewis & Clark Law School, I’ve discovered a rare and powerful combination: students who pair fierce dedication to their mission with deep collaboration and a genuine commitment to each other’s success.

Yet, for some, the lessons of law apply more broadly, and the outcome of their law school education has been a surprising and successful career outside of law. Here are just a few of our alums who followed an alternative route.
