Officers

Hello! I’m Amarit. I am honored to serve as this year’s SBA President. Outside of SBA, I am a Submissions Editor for the Lewis & Clark Law Review, a Lawyering Fellow, Co-President of the South Asian Law Student Association, and involved in Oregon’s legal community. Before law school, I worked in all three branches of Oregon state government.

Outside of law school, I enjoy painting, reading, taking long walks, and watching movies. Lately, I’ve been reading a lot of horror and watching period pieces. I especially enjoy painting gouache still lifes and landscapes.

Hi, I’m Jade—a recovering social worker who somehow woke up a law student, but I’m still not convinced this isn’t just a really long fever dream. Before law school, I worked several years in the mental health field, from crisis lines to hospital emergency departments. And I’ve continued to work as a therapist throughout law school. After graduation, I’d love to practice in intellectual property and media and entertainment law. But to be honest, anything novel will pique my interest.

I wasn’t crying when I was born, so I was probably thinking: “not this again…” But I’ve tried to make the most of it. I have (technically) met Tupac, skipped first grade (and never learned how to color inside the lines), I’ve been an extra in a couple of movies, spent nine months solo traveling through Southeast Asia, gone to 20+ countries, seen Mt. Everest, been canyoning, scuba diving, paragliding, and skydiving… and looking forward to the day I can mark bungee jumping off the list. I’ve moved 10 times in the last decade, and despite my best efforts, I boomerang back to Portland.

I’m an aspiring airport lounge member, Kachka lover, and a triple fire sign—which might explain everything above.

Originally from Florida, Reid joined Lewis & Clark Law School as he moved across the country to the Pacific Northwest. He quickly fell in love with the openness of Portland and the collaborative nature of the Lewis & Clark community.

Reid’s focus on contracts, family law, tax law, and estate planning, is driven by a passion for helping people prepare for the unpredictable. After graduating, he plans to help non-traditional families protect themselves, their loved ones, and their assets through strategic planning and legal guidance. Reid hopes to pursue an LLM in Taxation to deepen his expertise as he continues to explore the intersection of tax law, family law and estate planning.

As Treasurer, Reid hopes to increase access to funding for Student Organizations, and streamline the process as best he can.

I am a rising 3L at Lewis & Clark Law School. I am planning to pursue a career in Public Interest. I worked at the Oregon Law Center during my 1L summer and at Multnomah Defenders, Inc. my 2L summer. I volunteered with the Portland Community College Clear Clinic working on criminal record expungements during the Fall semester of my 1L year. On SBA, I served as a blue pod representative and the Accessibility Representative my 1L year, Board of Trustees representative my 2L year, and am currently the VP of Programming. I am also on the board of the Disability Allied Law Students Association. I was a Lawyering Teaching Fellow my 2L year and currently work as a Circulation Assistant at the Boley Law Library at Lewis & Clark. Before law school, I attended Willamette University where I studied Politics, Policy, Law & Ethics and Civic Communications & Media. I was a Resident Advisor for 3 years and played on the tennis team for 4 years at Willamette. Between undergrad and law school, I worked for several years at the Redwood Foundation for Education in Southern Oregon providing scholarships for high school students. 

Hi everyone! My name is Esther, and I am a 3L from California. I’m very passionate about seeing representation from all walks of life on our campus, and I’m looking forward to serving as your VP of DEIB! When I am not in the quiet room, you can find me on outdoor runs, paying for too many workout classes, or drinking too much coffee. Please let me know if I can support you in any way!

Hannah is a 2L focusing on animal law. Along with being the secretary of SBA, she is also a co-director of Lewis & Clark Law’s student chapter of the Animal Legal Defense Fund, a member of Animal Law Review, and an employee at the campus bookstore. She spends most of her free time with her dog, Boone.
