Emily Farrell joined the University of Oregon School of Law as Associate Director for Career Planning and Professional Development in 2016. She was previously a general legal practitioner, whose specialty areas included trusts and estates, probate, business, real estate, and landlord/tenant law. While Emily greatly enjoyed managing a successful legal practice, she returned to the University of Oregon because she is passionate about sharing her experience in order to help facilitate continued growth and success of students, alumni, and the University as a whole.

Emily returned to Lane County in 2003 and is extremely dedicated to her community. She has volunteered consistently for the past number of years with Lane County Legal Aid and Advocacy Center’s Senior Law Clinic, presently serves on the Board of Directors for both the HIV Alliance and Lane County Bar Association, and has enjoyed working with the Oregon State Legislature.

As a “Double-Duck,” Emily earned both her undergraduate and Law degrees from the University of Oregon.
