A longtime real estate professional based in the Pacific Northwest, Paul Kerley currently owns and operates Commercial Property Resources, Inc., in Salem, Oregon. Before launching his career in real estate, Paul Kerley earned a JD from the Willamette University College of Law in Salem.
In addition to its course offerings, the Willamette University College of Law sponsors an externship program designed to immerse students in the work of practicing attorneys. Students work closely with lawyers in a number of settings, ranging from in-house counsel at national companies to state and federal agencies. Participants in the externship program perform a variety of tasks, such as alternative dispute resolution, administrative advocacy, litigation, and transactional work.
To qualify for the externship program, students must enroll in either the part-time or full-time externship course, which comes with varying credit hours based on the time of year. Students must be in their second or third year at the Willamette University College of Law and enjoy good academic standing to be considered.
