Oregon Law Center

nonprofit civil legal-aid organization

Oregon Law Center

Industry Legal

An Oregon nonprofit civil legal-aid organization with regional and farmworker offices across the state. It scores this way because free civil legal services, farmworker representation, public-benefits help, and rights advocacy serve people with weak bargaining power, while governance remains nonprofit-board mediated rather than directly member controlled.

Why this matters: Oregon Law Center gives the map statewide Oregon legal-service coverage across the coast, Portland metro, Willamette Valley, Southern Oregon, and Eastern Oregon.
