WILLAMETTE LAW — Zach Forrester had a chance encounter that ultimately led to him joining Willamette Law and taking part in the inaugural immersion externship in Alaska. When he began at the law school, Forrester was interested in a number of different areas of law, and most specifically civil rights, the working of the court system, and litigation. He began to think about how he might build a career potentially in the federal courts. Entering into his year, Willamette Law Dean Brian Gallini threw out an idea, Forrester could finish his final year of school on site in Alaska, completing an externship and taking his final courses remotely. The wheels began turning and before long, Forrester was connected with Judge Joshua Kindred, a judge on the U.S. District Court for the District of Alaska.
