Law Faculty a Valuable Resource for Media
July 21, 2009
Although school is out for the summer, the College of Law faculty has continued to serve as an important resource for local and national media outlets, which have come to rely on the College of Law’s wealth of expertise. From May to July, the law faculty was quoted in the news more than a dozen times.
Highlights include the following:
• Steven K. Green was quoted in a number of newspapers and magazine this summer, including coverage of a faith-healing trial held in Portland and an article on church-state issues in Harper’s Magazine.
• Jeffrey Standen was interviewed about sports law issues by The New York Times in mid-May. He also appeared on the Sirius Radio news program UnderScore Sports.
• Susan L. Smith appeared on OPB Radio in June to discuss a potential recall against Portland Mayor Sam Adams.
