After a fast start, the fully staffed Environmental and Natural Resources Law Program has already identi- fied four major projects around which they intend to build university and donor support. “Our initial goal is to strengthen the program’s focus on native issues.

2002–2003 A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF OREGON’S PUBLIC LAW SCHOOL

It’s July, and assistant building manager Jim Horstrup is carefully matching paint and brushing out the scrapes and smudges that result from hundreds of feet, laptops, law books and coffee mugs—and their human carriers— hurrying through the halls.

“This is a beautiful building,” Horstrup says, “it’s well worth the time and effort to keep it that way.”

Last year, the William W. Knight Law Center did more than house the activities of 520 students, 50 professors, instructors and lecturers and the administrators and support staff who paid the bills, recorded the grades and counseled the students. It shaped those activities with its warmth, informality and classic style. It is, indeed, a beautiful place.

Take a quick tour of a year in the life of Oregon’s public law school. Students shoot hoops at the William W. Knight Law Center, home of the University of Oregon School of Law.
