Festschrift in Honor of Professor William Funk of Lewis & Clark Law School

Festschrift is a German word that means “a collection of writings published in honor of a scholar.” In honor of Professor William Funk's retirement, scholars from around the country will write and speak on three areas that reflect Professor Funk’s scholarship and teaching: Administrative Law, Environmental Law, and Constitutional Law. Papers will be published in Lewis & Clark’s Environmental Law journal, and the Lewis & Clark Law Review. 6.0 MCLE credits will be sought for this event.
