Oregon Law welcomes to campus the second cohort of the Lane County Bar Association (LCBA) Bar Fellows. Five UO law students earned the fellowship during the 2022-23 academic year. This year’s LCBA Fellows are Julie Foss, Amy Huynh, Raman Mann, Michelle Rodriguez, and Alyssa Whitcomb-Zeidel. This class builds on the four Fellows in last year’s inaugural group.

This highly selective program is designed to help diversify Oregon’s legal community by recruiting and supporting diverse law students.
