Pro Bono Information
Providing equal access to justice and high quality legal representation to all Oregonians is central to the mission of the Oregon State Bar. The Pro Bono Program promotes pro bono representation and encourages Oregon lawyers to support civil legal services programs by meeting the OSB Aspirational Standard for Pro Bono.
Please note The Pro Bono Program does not match clients with pro bono attorneys.
