Gubernatorial candidate
to speak at law center
Gubernatorial candidate Bev Stein will be among the five women speaking with students at 4:30 p.m. today at the “Working for Social Change: Women in Politics” seminar in Room 110 of the Knight Law Center.
The seminar, which is free to the public, will focus on the role of women in Oregon politics. It is sponsored by the University School of Law Women’s Law Forum and the Wayne Morse Center for Law & Politics.
“Working for Social Change” is the latest in a series of events that are sponsored by the Women’s Law Forum and aimed at keeping law students passionate about legal issues, according to group member Lisa Hartrich.
“We’re trying to start a tradition of events that remind students why they went to law school,” she said.
Stein, an attorney and former Multnomah County executive, will sit on the panel with state Sen. Susan Castillo, D-Eugene, Oregon Court of Appeals Judge Virginia Linder, Multnomah County Commissioner Serena Cruz and Mia Shorey, campaign manager for state Rep. Kathy Lowe.
Stein will also take advantage of her time on campus to meet with student groups and with University President Dave Frohnmayer.
