Message from the Alumni Board President
It is with bittersweet news that this will probably be the last time you’ll hear from me as your Alumni Board President.

Dear fellow alums,
It is with bittersweet news that this will probably be the last time you’ll hear from me as your Alumni Board President. It has been a tremendous honor to serve in this role since 2020 with a simple goal: to connect and engage more alumni with Lewis & Clark Law School AND to jump-start fundraising efforts for the Alumni Board Scholarship. I am pleased to share that I have accomplished both goals. The Alumni Board has not only doubled its size—with board members from coast to coast—but contributions to the Alumni Board Scholarship have tripled during my tenure.
Now that Dean Ouellette is settled at the law school and with the Alumni Board in good shape, I am looking forward to passing the torch. Please look out for an announcement of who the next Alumni Board President will be. If you are interested in joining the Alumni Board, or if you have any ideas to share, my door is always open: bkrupicka@ohaganmeyer.com.
As an alum and donor myself, I know what a privilege it is to be able to give back. I’ve met many recipients of the Alumni Board Scholarship, and I can tell you—your support truly changes lives.
Your support helps ensure that deserving students can pursue their legal education at Lewis & Clark, regardless of their financial circumstances.

Lastly, I want to put in a final plug for alumni events where you can meet Dean Ouellette! Please stay up-to-date on events by checking out the Alumni Office’s events page at law.lclark.edu/offices/alumni
Best wishes,

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.

A Decade of Dedication:
Professor Lydia Pallas Loren’s Work on the Landmark Restatement of Copyright.

Legal Expertise Supports Migratory Species
Professors Chris Wold and Erica Lyman facilitated a workshop with CMS Parties to discuss the legal contours of some of the treaty’s most important provisions.

Beyond the Bar
Most graduates of law school go on to practice law, working in law firms or providing legal counsel to organizations and businesses. 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.
