Tulane Law Post-Hurricane Blog

The University of Oregon School of Law will also accept some displaced law
students. The President of our University wrote tonight, "I hereby
volunteer as a lawprof to help tutor or teach the cohort w/i my areas of
expertise. Best, Dave"

Oregon is a beautiful state in which to spend some time. The city of Eugene
lies between the Pacific Ocean and the mountains, with a world-class
performing arts center downtown and some of the friendliest people you'd
want to encounter.

The Law School at the University of Oregon resides inside a major research
university.

My personal hope, as an environmental law professor, is that some of
Tulane's environmental law students will come up to spend some time with us.
Our Environmental and Natural Resources Law Program is first-rate; our law
student organization, Land-Air-Water, is collegial and activist.

But there is no restriction of subject matter or interest in our invitation.
We have active programs in entrepreneurship, alternative dispute resolution,
family law, and other specialties.

Law students and the law school administration are already organizing
volunteers to help potential incoming students find appropriate housing.
Please contact Liane Richardson, our Assistant Dean for Students, for
further information:

lrichard@law.uoregon.edu.

Oregon will waive tuition-and-fees if the students are paying them to their
New Orleans law schools.
