NEWS & INFORMATIONPress Contact: University of Oregon Law School Students Get "Taste" of Real WorldFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Eugene, Oregon) -- On Thursday evening, September 27, members of the Student Oregon Trial Lawyers Association (SOTLA) were welcomed back to school by local trial lawyers, at an after-school reception held at Johnson, Clifton, Larson & Schaller, P.C. SOTLA members enjoyed meeting the firm and hearing about the basics of trial practice. Derek Johnson (see attached photo and caption) has practiced law in Oregon since 1988 and been a shareholder in the firm since 1993. He focuses his practice in the areas of personal injury, defective products, truck and motor vehicle collisions, nursing home negligence, environmental torts, and wrongful death. Johnson answered questions and addressed real world legal issues raised by the over 20 students who attended. The reception is one of a series of events and projects the firm and SOTLA members are planning. "We want to build bridges to future trial lawyers and share with them insights into the practice of law. This should help them put their legal education into context," says Johnson. " We have two Senior Associates here at the firm who are University of Oregon Law School graduates. That, too gives us access to some of the best of our future colleagues."
