The Oregon Supreme Court recently approved Oregon's first-ever new pathway to attorney licensure, the Supervised Practice Portfolio Examination. As part of this licensure pathway, graduates must complete a curriculum requirement in order to be eligible for participation in the SPPE. Individuals must have satisfactorily completed courses in the subject matter areas generally known as:
- Business Associations
- Civil Procedure
- Constitutional Law
- Contract Law
- Criminal Law or Investigatory Criminal Procedure
- Evidence
- Torts
- Real Property
Individuals who have not completed these curricular requirements are able to enroll in courses for graded academic credit through the JD for Life program. Course enrollment is subject to availability. The cost associated with each course may vary and is available upon request. This JD for Life option is available to all graduates with a JD from an ABA accredited law school. Individuals interested in taking a course for graded academic credit can fill out this inquiry form.
