Foundation Hosts Women’s History Display Celebration
On May 17th, the Oregon Women Lawyers Foundation hosted an event at the Oregon State Bar Center to celebrate the Women’s History in the Law display, which is a museum-quality wall display. The display was installed at the Oregon State Bar center in February and features many women lawyers from all around Oregon over the course of our history (since 1885). The creation of the display was a project of the Queen’s Bench Historical Perspectives Committee over the course of the last 3 years.
Foundation Co-Sponsors Vernellia Randall Event
On May 3rd, Oregon Women Lawyers Foundation co-sponsored a special event featuring Vernellia Randall, a University of Dayton Law School professor and the author of a recently released book entitled “Dying While Black”. During the event, Randall was able to reconnect with her Portland friends, including many Foundation board and OWLS members, and she made a short presentation about her book and conducted a booksigning. The Foundation co-sponsored the event with Lewis & Clark Law School, OWLS, and the Oregon Minority Lawyers Association.
