 Opened in 2008 , the Oregon Civic Justice Center is one block north of the Collins Legal Center . Built within Salem 's 1912 Carnegie library building , the school remodeled the structure at a cost of $ 4 million . The building is home to the Willamette Law Review ; the Oregon Law Commission ; Willamette 's Center for Democracy , Religion and Law ; the Center for Dispute Resolution ; the law school 's clinical program ; and the Center for Law and Government . These programs were chosen due to their community outreach programs , as the school plans to create a community atmosphere between students , faculty , and the general community .
