Oregon State Bar Bulletin — APRIL 2016



Briefs

Legal Aid Holds Oregon’s First Virtual Legal Aid Clinic

On Feb. 6, Legal Aid Services of Oregon and Miller Nash Graham & Dunn launched the first (and hopefully not last) Virtual Legal Aid Clinic in Oregon.

One of the goals was to help address the disproportionate ratio between legal aid needs and available legal aid attorneys in the state’s rural areas. The clinic linked Oregon-licensed attorneys from the firm’s urban offices in Oregon and Washington with Legal Aid clients from rural central Oregon living in Jefferson, Deschutes and Crook counties.

Legal Aid screened potential clients and scheduled the clients to meet in Miller Nash’s office in Bend. Those clients were linked by video conferencing with the lawyers in Portland.

Legal Aid is hoping to expand this type of virtual clinic by asking other law firms to consider adopting rural legal aid offices.

OWLs Coffee Creek Book Drive Scheduled for April 4-15

The legal community is being asked to gather up gently used books (with no writing or other marks in them) for the annual OWLs Coffee Creek Book Drive.

Coffee Creek is Oregon’s only women’s prison. (It is also the intake facility for all Oregon prisons, meaning that all male inmates are also housed there before being assigned to another facility.) The book drive will enrich the collection of books available to the women incarcerated at Coffee Creek, as well as the libraries in other correctional facilities in the state.

For more information on the book drive, including the types and formats of book that can be accepted, visit www. tinyurl.com/OWLSBookDrive2016.

 

Youth Film Project Set for May 4

Looking for a fun way to help your kids learn about history and the law? The “YOUthFILM” Project is an opportunity for K-12 students to create a short film that will be featured as a part of Community Law Week.

Top films will be screened for the public at Portland’s nonprofit Hollywood Theatre in Portland on May 4. Film submissions will be accepted through April 13.

For more information, contact Kirsten Rush at krush@busseandhunt.com or visit www.theyouthfilmproject.org.
