Wendy Murphy is a lawyer who specializes in the representation of crime victims, women, and children. Her book, And Justice for Some: An Exposé of the Lawyers and Judges Who Let Dangerous Criminals Go Free, was published in 2007.

The 2014 Lorwin Lectureship on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties has included a series of events focused on sexual violence and human rights.

The Lorwin Lectureship in Civil Rights and Civil Liberties was established through a generous gift from the estate of Val and Madge Lorwin and is administered through the University of Oregon College of Arts and Sciences and School of Law. Val Lorwin was a professor of history at UO.
