Mission Statement
Our mission is to revolutionize access to basic legal services, education, and support for underserved Oregonians. In the process, we provide robust practical training for law students and new lawyers.
About This Cause
The Commons Law Center is a nonprofit law firm that provides sliding-scale legal services to modest means Oregonians, those who live below 400% of the federal poverty level. Our program compliments legal aid, which serves as the safety net that provides legal help to the most underprivileged members of society. We are more like the guardrails helping keep people from falling even further into poverty. Our goal is for each of our legal services programs to be self-sustaining from earned fees, even at a vastly reduced rate. That way we can treat charitable donations like seed capital to stand-up new service offerings, build community partnerships, and create community education programs, which feed back into our legal service program. Using charitable gifts in this way protects the support our legal aid programs need to serve those most in need. Our team includes interwoven groups, working together to advance our mission to revolutionize access to basic legal services, information, and support.
