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.

The mission of the Food & Agriculture Law Society (formerly Food & Wine Law Society) is to provide an outlet for students to gain experience and understanding of current legal issues in food law and policy. To achieve these goals, FALS will aspire to provide students with connections in the professional Food Law field, instigate thoughtful discussions, panels, and events surrounding relevant topics in food and agriculture law, provide a means for students to engage with and volunteer in the local community, and act as a resource for students and community members interested in learning more about relevant concerns in the field.

Law Students for Climate Accountability (LSCA)
LSCA is a national community of law students and legal professionals dedicated to altering the legal industry’s role in exacerbating issues of climate injustice by advocating for the phasing out of the representation of fossil fuel-enabling actors. We progress toward this goal by promoting transparency and accountability with tools including grass works advocacy, research projects, and an annual Law Firm Climate Change Scorecard. In addition, LSCA is committed to building organizing power to support frontline communities, including Indigenous, Minority, and Low-income communities harmed by environmental degradation related to the continued exploitation of fossil fuels.
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.
