Meredith Freeman

I am a third-year J.D. candidate at the University of Oregon School of Law, on track to graduate in May, 2026. My legal education builds on a foundation of studying the relationship between psychology and the law, earned through my Bachelor of Science in Forensic Psychology from John Jay College of Criminal Justice. For several years as a personal trainer in New York City, I partnered with clients to set and achieve personalized fitness goals. I am interested in the practice areas of estate planning, land use, and family law.
