my name is Omead Masha I'm entering my
third year law school at Lewis & Clark
law
I remember when I moved from sacramento
california
was about three days in town and I
really didn't know anyone here
and OLIO for me was the break-in
into the legal community in Oregon I don't
have any family members in law school
I it was just an amazing experience
the best part about olio is the people
you meet
just whether or not their law students
whether or not they're judges whether or
not they're attorneys.
it's the people just all along there's just
fantastic people that a generous
even the judges they show great
humility
they're willing to step out are they
willing to come out of their way
to really help you out really show what
the Oregon law
community is all about it's a unique bar
they have here
everyone is willing to help everyone out
whether it's a 1L just entering law
school
or whether it's a 20-year attorney that
in that encounters the
legal issue that they've never seen
before the networking opportunities that
your experience at OLIO
are probably going to be the best
opportunity to get throughout your whole
entire
law career there's the willingness of
everyone to come talk to you
to tell you their experiences and to
help you through what are going to be
the toughest times in your experience
especially during the first law school
are just invaluable
beginning law school with this
background with this foundation is
basically the best thing you could
really do for yourself
you entered law school much more
comfortable
you'll still be scared but you have this
foundation you'll have this
background set up to really
make sure that you succeed and that
you're able to do everything you can do
to get through that first year law
school
