Program areas at Oregon Law Foundation

The Oregon Law Foundation awarded approximately $2.6 million in grants to strengthen Oregon's civil legal system. Funds supported the delivery of civil legal help to oregonians, promoted the accessibility of legal education to all oregonians, and promoted public understanding of the Law and the legal system. The Foundation collaborated with financial institutions through its leadership banker advisory committee, conducted outreach to lawyers about iolta, and participated in national initiatives through the national association of iolta programs. It also continued research on consumer debt litigation in partnership with the Oregon judicial department. The Foundation's goal is a legal system that people can trust - one that is fair, open, and serves all oregonians.
