Class of 2014 Last summer, 21 students from 16 law schools joined us in Oregon for a rigorous yet fun deep-dive into the world of sports law. They came from law schools from across the country—Maine, Georgia, Seattle, and Pepperdine (Malibu)—and all points in between. They were eager and they were engaged. Together they bonded while rafting the picturesque McKenzie River and while watching the Portland Timbers. They studied together, played sports together, and enjoyed the Oregon summer together. They toured Nike’s headquarters and the Alpenrose Velodrome, and they sipped pinot gris at local wineries. Above all, they created lasting friendships and made connections that will serve them throughout their careers. Visit our website to meet the Class of 2014: sports-law.uoregon.edu/classof2014
