About the Instructor

Megan Needham teaches the Portland State University LSAT Prep Course. She first wrote the curriculum for and taught LSAT Prep classes at Indiana University in 2014 and began teaching at PSU in 2017. Professor Needham's course draws upon the real-world applications of LSAT skills that she learned while earning her J.D. at Georgetown Law and working as an intellectual property litigator at Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Workman Nydegger. In addition to teaching in the university setting, she has tutored hundreds of students one-on-one for the LSAT, coached students for their law school and college applications, and advised BARBRI students as they prepare for the bar exam. Professor Needham has a deep passion for helping students and developing learning strategies to meet the needs of individual learners.
