Curriculum

Comprehensive business law courses form the core of any law school curriculum. In addition, we teach deal making skills and the relationship between law and entrepreneurship — our notable strengths.

Opportunities such as the Small Business Clinic, Portland corporate externships, and five business law certificates hone your skills and add to your credibility in the job market. The recent addition of a sustainable business focus includes classes, a Statements of Completion, a student group, and speaker events.

Our ties to the UO's Lundquist College of Business — including the concurrent J.D./M.B.A. degree — enrich the curriculum even more.
