The law school has expanded substantially since seven students started attending classes in
1884. The current class of about 475 students and 23 full-time faculty will be celebrating the
school's centennial with a symposium and a yearbook.
Law school set to celebrate
tune centennial anniversary

Attending law school is a lot like going back to
high school, according to Sharon Cordon, law
school assistant dean.
Few people would think to compare the rigors
of an intense program such as law school to high
school, but Cordon makes the comparison social
ly — not academically.
"First-year students have all their classes
together, they have lockers, everyone talks about
everyone else all the time," she says. This social
atmosphere and closeness helps make the pro
gram’s intensity more bearable, and friendships
formed during the program often last a lifetime,
Gordon says.
Students are seated alphabetically and
separated into two groups — A and B
"I went to law school in 1973, and I'm still a
section A'er," Gordon says. "Some of my best
friends in the world are still those whose names
start with the letter G."
The law school is not very visible to the rest of
the campus and is different in some ways from
other University programs. Law school students
rarely take classes in other areas, although they
may.
Because the law school is on the early
semester program, school starts and finishes a
month earlier. Gordon says the quarter system
wouldn't work for the law school and thinks the
entire University should adopt the semester
system.
"The advantages of learning a third fewer
classes in-depth far outweighs the disadvantages"
she says.
The courses are graded somewhat differently.
The students "are held strictly accountable for
what they're supposed to know. They are being
prepared to know the law and to work well under
stress," Gordon says. In many cases, this means
the final exam counts for 100 percent of the grade.
Gordon emphasizes that class participation is im
portant but "the only reward is knowing that you
can do it — which is a pretty substantial reward."
The law school this year is celebrating its
centennial, which should increase its visibility.
When the law school was founded on June 18,
1884, it had a class of seven. The law school cur
rently has more than 475 students and 23 full-time
fatuity.
■ A three-part symposium on American legal
history to be held on campus in February will in
clude representatives from Harvard and Stanford
universities, and the history of the law school will
be documented for the first time in a centennial
yearbook.
Gordon has compiled an alumni catalog and
says 75 percent of the 2,500 alumni still are in
Oregon. Alumni are involved in every aspect of
law from private practice to the judiciary to work
ing in government.
But Gordon says law school provides such a
broad background that law students can be
employed anywhere. Law students learn to
analyze problems and identify solutions, which
makes them a commodity, she says.
"Businesses love to have lawyers." Gordon
says. "They really help get things done."
