THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON SCHOOL OF LAW, established in
1884 as a night law school in the city of Portland, was moved to the Eugene
campus in 1915 and reorganized as a regular division of the University. The School
of Law was admitted to the Association of American Law Schools in December
1919; the standards of the school were approved by the American Bar Association
in August 1923.
Facilities. The School of Law is housed in Fenton Hall, a three-story brick
structure, with a fireproof annex in which the main book collection of the Law
Library is located. Fenton Hall, named in honor of the late William David Fenton,
Oregon attorney and benefactor of the school, was formerly the University
Library. The building was extensively remodeled in 1938 to provide a permanent
home for the School of Law. A new Law Library reading room with modern
facilities was provided in 1953.
The holdings of the Law Library total 57,006 volumes, including complete
case reports of the National Reporter System, complete state reports from colonial
times to the establishment of the Reporter System, a substantial collection of
English and Canadian case law, codes and compilations of state and Federal statute
law, standard legal digests and encyclopaedias, etc. Its periodical collection includes
files of about 335 legal journals. An excellent collection of publications
relating to Oregon territorial and state law includes an extensive file of Oregon
Supreme Court briefs.
The Law Library reading rooms are adjacent to the stacks, allowing students
direct and easy access to the book collections.

to the School of Law is three-fourths of the total credit required for a Bachelor of
Arts or Bachelor of Science degree from the institution at which the student completes

requirement may include no work taken by correspondence, and may include a
