We’ve run out of mentors.
This year we are matching 115 students. As you may know, WUCL’s program, which started in 1990, is the first attorney mentor program in Oregon. We work very hard to match students and attorneys with similar practice areas or interests.
If an attorney is interested in participating in the mentor program, he/she should email Bev Ecklund (becklund@willamette.edu), or call 503.370.6057 which student(s) and fill out our online mentor form.
Willamette’s College of Law has the largest practitioner-student mentor program in Oregon. Our mentor program pairs first-year students with approximately 150 lawyers and judges, who serve as mentors throughout the students’ three years at the College of Law. The program enables students to form a personal relationship with a legal professional, who provides advice and insight into the practice of law.
The mentor relationship serves as the first building block in a rich network of connections students will make throughout their legal careers. While the Willamette alumni network is strongest in Oregon and Washington, Career & Professional Development can connect graduates with alumni from across the country.

The Mary Leonard Law Society and Assistant U.S. Attorney Ron Silver
present an engaging discussion of the
Dreyfus Affair, a 19th Century “Trial of the Century“
When: August 23 – 12:00 p.m. to 1:15 p.m
Where: Willamette College of Law, Room 201
In 1894, the French army discovered that secrets had been leaked to the Germans by one of the Army’s own. A flawed, flimsy investigation focused on Captain Alfred Dreyfus. Fueled by the fact that Dreyfus was Jewish, arrangements were made to covertly provide ex parte evidence to the military tribunal at the 11th hour in order to ensure a guilty verdict. Led by Mathieu Dreyfus and Emile Zola, a dedicated group of “Dreyfusards” fought to exonerate Dreyfus.
Termed the “Dreyfus Affair,” the proceedings created a civil rights scandal that divided France and riveted the world. The Affair’s lasting legacy of closed military tribunals and secret evidence resonates to this day.
