The Law School Commons referred to below is the "Knight Law Center" of the University of Oregon at 1515 Agate Street. Room 175 is also called the "commons" or the "auditorium room". Parking can be tricky, but usually available in the
neighborhoods to the south and east of the University. Best to ride bicycles or come early to allow time to walk the last few blocks from your car to the center.
