Our Vision.
Connecting Today's Leaders with Tomorrow's Lawyers
A strong profession is built on more than technical skill. It requires leadership, mentorship, meaningful relationships, and engagement with the communities we serve.
OMLA's Leaders Initiative brings together attorneys, judges, students, business leaders, and community leaders to create opportunities for learning, mentorship, and professional growth throughout Oregon.

Three Pillars. One Goal.
Best Practices.
Learning from Experience
This engagement series focuses on providing a platform for experienced attorneys and legal leaders to share practical wisdom, professional insight, and lessons learned throughout their careers. From time-tested strategies to developing legal trends and decisions, Best Practices aims to inform practitioners of all levels to continually improve their skillsets.
Learn from those who have done it.
Passing the Torch.

This engagement series focuses on providing students and early career attorneys opportunities to connect with experienced practitioners and judges to learn what makes a legal career fulfilling and successful.
An Evening with the Bench & Bar — A flagship event coordinated with each Oregon law school (University of Oregon, Willamette University, and Lewis & Clark University in their respective cities) of this series provides students and early career attorneys with a diverse panel of judges and practitioners from the private, public, and public interest sectors reflecting the various ways one can navigate a legal career. The panel discussion is followed by a judges reception comprised of the local bench and bar.
