Truman Wesley Collins Legal Center

[2] It houses Lady Justice, the 12-foot (3.7 m)-tall, 300-pound (140 kg) statue formerly located on the roof of the Marion County Courthouse.

[3] The law school building was named in honor of Truman W. Collins, a Willamette University alumni and well known businessman and philanthropist.

[5] In 1992, the Collins Legal Center went through an award-winning renovation[6] and expansion that ended with a dedication ceremony and speech by former U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

[7][8] In her dedication speech, O'Connor advocated for civility among those in the legal profession and for avoiding personal attacks among lawyers.

[9] In December 2005, the school's moot courtroom was used for a real civil trial after the Marion County Courthouse was damaged the previous month.
