==History== Lewis & Clark Law School's origins began with the University of Oregon establishing a Department of Law in Portland in 1885. After the Oregon State Legislature moved the program to Eugene, Oregon in 1915, several law faculty members resisted the move, and formed the Northwestern College of Law.
In 1965, the faculty and overseers of Northwestern College of Law joined with the president and trustees of Lewis & Clark College to incorporate the Northwestern School of Law of Lewis & Clark College.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lclark.edu/about/history/ |title=Our History - About Lewis & Clark - Lewis & Clark |publisher=Lclark.edu |access-date=June 7, 2014}}</ref> Harold Wren was Dean of the law school from 1969 to 1972.
