Willamette Law has welcomed six new professors to its faculty. The new additions bring a variety of legal knowledge and experience to the University. Several of the professors have been awarded promotions this year. A few have also been honored for their work in the field.

The College of Law recently announced a partnership with the University of Alaska Anchorage. This new affiliation provides students with an opportunity to learn about and study the laws of Alaska. It will also provide opportunities for students to engage in experiential learning experiences.

Willamette Law has also appointed a new associate dean of student affairs, Danny Santos. In his role, he will oversee the Academic Excellence program. He will help students learn about the bar and legal careers.

Other notable faculty at Willamette Law include Professor Keith Cunningham-Parmeter, who has a forthcoming article in the UCLA Law Review. And Attorney Gretchen McCord, who specializes in copyright law, privacy law, and social media law. Her legal background helps students learn about the challenges and opportunities presented by these emerging fields.

Willamette Law has also introduced a signature strengths initiative to help prepare students for their future careers. Students are encouraged to explore how they can best use their unique talents to make a difference in their communities. Some of the most successful graduates from the class of 2020 are using their studies to advance the cause of racial justice in Oregon.

In fact, two of the newest additions to the College of Law are members of the Signature Strengths Initiative. Dustin Buehler will teach civil procedure in the fall and Robin Maril will serve as a visiting professor for the 2021-22 academic year.

There is a lot of activity at Willamette Law. From the Bruce Spaulding Trial Competition to the latest additions to the faculty, there is plenty to keep law students and attorneys interested.

For many students, the most exciting part of studying at Willamette is the chance to engage in real cases. Students watch actual court cases and ask questions about them. These experiences are a unique feature of Willamette Law. Moreover, the website has been revamped with multimedia storytelling tools.

Another example is the Intellectual Property Law Blog. This site covers all the legal developments and legislative initiatives related to copyright, trademark, patent, and other intellectual property law topics. As the digital world grows, policymakers must keep up with the technological and regulatory changes. Digital companies must be diligent about their products and services, audit their features regularly, and protect their customers.

Finally, the College of Law has launched the Health Law Certificate to provide students with a foundation for health care law. Graduates of the Certificate will have a strong understanding of how health care issues evolve and how to address them.

While the new faculty at Willamette Law are bringing a wide array of legal expertise, the University has lost a key player in its history. Longtime instructor Hans A. Linde passed away on September 14.
