The Law Student Associate status was created by the Oregon State Bar (OSB) to offer law students a way to join their future community of peers while still in school.
Lawyers throughout Oregon recognize the Oregon State Bar as their main professional organization. Law Student Associates will build professional contacts through bar activities while demonstrating dedication and interest in the profession. This display of dedication to the state bar organization is especially helpful for out-of-state law students, whether planning to stay in the state or not.
