Rather than go over my exhaustive pro/con list for both schools, I'll try to put my dillemma succintly. LC passed the gut test during my visit, and I loved Portland (will likely practice in the region, but I'm keeping an open mind- OOS btw), but UO's curriculum is closer to what I'm looking for (public interest law with a political bent), and a JD from there would have a better reputation outside of Oregon.
I liked the social atmosphere at LC more, but I also like having big-school stuff to do (two words: Ducks football). I like Eugene's weather a bit more (it's sunnier generally), but Portland's is still nice.
OK, that wasn't too succinct, but you get the crux of it haha. If you need more info, I'll add to my list as needed.
