Lewis & Clark Law School

Client

Lewis & Clark Law School is a top law school in the greater Northwest region of the U.S., known for its nationally ranked programs, practical training opportunities and flexible, part-time and full-time options. It has set itself apart as one of the best places in the country for students to become trained as future executives, lawyers, and business leaders.

Their goal

As one of the top ranked law schools in environmental and animal law in the U.S., Lewis & Clark Law School doesn’t have a problem recruiting or retaining top students from around the world. Their goal in coming to us was to raise awareness of their business law program, achieve equal recognition to that of their peer programs and create a dynamic connection with the local business community.

How we helped

Meriwether Group conducted a market assessment of best-in-class law schools in the U.S. to identify Lewis & Clark Law School’s unique program differentiators within business law. We then developed strategies and communication tools to activate the support and engagement of businesses and corporations, which Meriwether Group has deep relationships with throughout the Pacific Northwest.

The result

Using the tools Meriwether Group created to increase awareness of the business law program, we were able to secure corporate partnerships that resulted in multiple on-campus keynote speaking engagements, as well as several hired internships for business law students. This collaboration laid the groundwork for the school to use for years to come and is a huge differentiator from other law schools that have not established strong relationships with dynamic local and regional businesses.
