Poor Lewis & Clark Law School folks. As you all sit around watching episodes of Portlandia and wondering why people think it’s a comedy and not a documentary — which it is — you’ve slowly become a Portlandia plot point yourselves as you stare down a $233,331 debt and consider “Catsitter” as your new job. Because a Juris Doctor is the minimum requirement for this gig.
In Albany, OR.
Non-Oregonian folks may not get this, but here’s a personal, legal story about Albany. In the first week of my Con Law class at NYU with the immortal and sorely missed Derrick Bell — also the former Dean of the University of Oregon School of Law — I mentioned that I went to the U of O and he grasped my hand and asked, “what was the name of that town… just North… that smells like death?” And I responded, “Albany.” And a contented smile crossed his face and he said, “Yes! Yes, that’s it!”
