Our Annual Event!
Every year, OMLA is proud to host the Annual Summer Auction. The primary means for funding our flagship Bar Exam Grant & Scholarship, our Auction provides OMLA members and guests a much needed escape from the heat of the legal profession. Wine, dine, and enjoy yourself as we raise money to help the next generation of Oregon lawyers!
2018's Summer Auction will be held on Thursday, July 26, 2018. Mark you calendars and check back for more details soon!
The History of the OMLA Summer Auction
The first OMLA Summer Auction was held in the summer of 2000. The Board of Directors of directors consisted of Aruna Masih, Ernest Estes, Anastasia Yu Meisner, and Kesa Yorozu. Since then, OMLA has held the Summer Auction as an annual event and, with the help of the local legal and business community, raised enough money to award more than 100 Bar Exam Grants/Scholarships. Our Bar Exam Grant/Scholarship program is designed to pay for bar exam fees and preparation courses for racial and ethnic minority graduating law students and recent graduates.
Every year, OMLA members donate their time and resources to raising money and administering this unique and career changing program. On behalf of all of our previous awardees, we extend our sincerest gratitude to our sponsors, volunteers, and community members that have made this program possible.
If you would like to become an organization sponsor, donate items for Auction, or volunteer in another way, please contact Suji Patel or Samantha Copeland.
