Student Organizations
Lewis & Clark Law School has many student organizations that students can be part of during their law school career. These groups host events and meetings, and contribute to the educational and social well-being of the student body. New student groups are created or revived each year as new students find areas that are not covered by the existing groups. If you want to join an organization, or just want to know more about it, please reach out to the organization.

Legally Fat: Law Students for the Advancement of Fat Acceptance
Legally Fat is a student organization dedicated to amplifying the voices of fat law students and advancing fat acceptance. We aim to foster a safe and supportive community for those who experience societal, educational and professional barriers due to their size, and provide resources to help minimize those barriers. Through an intersectional approach to education and advocacy, Legally Fat trains future lawyers to recognize the origin of anti-fatness as anti-blackness, to identify the harms intrinsic to the legal discrimination of fat people, and to dismantle interconnected systems of oppression in their personal and professional lives.
