Mission Statement
The mission of Lewis & Clark College is to know the traditions of the liberal arts, to test their boundaries through ongoing exploration, and to hand on to successive generations the tools and discoveries of this quest. By these means the College pursues the aims of all liberal learning: to seek knowledge for its own sake and to prepare for civic leadership.
The College carries out this mission through undergraduate programs in the arts and sciences and postgraduate programs in the closely related professions of education, counseling, and law. The College mounts these programs as both separately valid and mutually supportive enterprises. In all its endeavors it seeks to be a community of scholars who are alive to inquiry, open to diversity, and disciplined to work in an interdependent world.

Davis, Wright, Tremaine International Law Writing Competition
Scholarship Description
Through the generosity of Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, a $2,000 stipend will be provided for the best student paper on an international law topic submitted for the Davis Wright Tremaine International Law Writing Award, with a stipend of $1,000 for the second best student paper.
Papers must be submitted to the Office of the Dean on or before the end of June to be considered for this year's award competition.
The guidelines for the award competition are:
All Lewis & Clark students and immediate graduates are eligible to enter the award competition.
Entries are limited to original research papers written in the past year on any topic in private or public international law, but not comparative law or the law of a foreign nation.
The papers must be typed, double-spaced, with at least one inch margins, and with typing on only one side of each page.
The papers will be evaluated and judged by a selection committee consisting of faculty members nominated by the Dean and Mr. Ronald K. Ragen, or his designee, representing the sponsoring law firm. The decision of the selection committee will be final and non-reviewable.
In selecting the winning papers, the committee will consider whether the papers are of publishable quality, with emphasis on the subject matter, organization and writing quality.
The judges will endeavor to have a final decision by the start of the fall semester. If a prize recipient publishes a winning paper, the recipient should acknowledge in the published paper that the paper received a Lewis & Clark Law School Davis Wright Tremaine International Law Writing Award.
