Join us March 2025
The Oregon Diversity Legal Job Fair bridges aspiring attorneys, paralegals, and legal support professionals with employers in Oregon’s legal community to educate, recruit, and expand networking opportunities for our future leaders. Join us (virtually) to visit employer booths, network, and explore employment opportunities available to you.
The fair takes place in early March (exact date TBD), from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. PST. Registration details are forthcoming.
“When I heard about the idea of an Oregon-focused diversity legal job fair, it immediately resonated with me and inspired me to act. Like many, my law firm revisited its diversity and inclusion practices following the George Floyd killing. As a part of its renewed efforts to reach out and partner with other groups to help diversify the Oregon legal community, Bullivant Houser signed on as a presenting sponsor.”

“In a profession that has historically put up barriers for women and people of color, especially women of color, it is incredibly important to build space to support and promote legal professionals from underrepresented backgrounds.”
Liani Reeves
Former President, Oregon State Bar
“I believe that if the bar is going to reflect the public it serves — which it should — Oregon legal employers must act now and shift focus from the ‘business case’ for racial diversity to embracing a moral one.”

Attorney, Miller Nash LLP
“I believe we share an obligation to ensure all members of our society not only have access to our justice system but also have confidence in it. Working to ensure our Oregon attorneys reflect the society we serve is axiomatic. Put simply: clients, victims, witnesses, jurors and the general public deserve attorneys who are representative of our community.”
