Scot Eliot, attorney, graduated second in his class from Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon. He has been practicing in Portland for nearly a decade. Scot is divorced and has three children. He and his former wife live adjacent to one another in the Sunnyside/Mt. Tabor neighborhood of Portland, Oregon.

A native of the Pacific Northwest, Scot began his academic career in Portland when he enrolled at Reed College. Located in Southeast Portland, Reed is sometimes called the Harvard of the West because of its intense focus on the classical core of liberal arts. Reed’s steadfast refusal to not cooperate with college rankings like those complied by US News and World Reports has only enhanced its reputation as the most academically rigorous liberal arts college west of the Mississippi river. Scot studied philosophy at Reed, received Commendation for Excellence in Scholarship and wrote his thesis on “Spinoza’s Conception of Divine Freedom.” He graduated at the top fifth of his class.

After Reed, Scot left Portland for New York City where he did post-graduate work in philosophy at the New School a global university in Greenwich Village. Scot returned to Portland, Oregon to study law at Lewis and Clark’s Northwestern School of Law.

Lewis and Clark’s Law School proved an exceptional fit for Scot. He graduated cum laude, served on the Lewis and Clark Law Review and graduated 2nd in his class.

After Law School Scot continued his academic work at Reed College’s post-baccalaureate program Masters of Arts in Liberal Studies. He has been called upon by the Bar and his colleagues to research and publish on numerous occasions and is the author of Chapter 13 of Consumer Law in Oregon.
