Mission Statement
The Oregon Law Foundation builds a more equitable legal system to support and fund justice for all in Oregon by: ensuring access to civil legal help for people with low incomes, or who experience other systemic barriers; promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion in the legal community; and educating the public about the law and the legal system.
About This Cause
Weuse IOLTA interest to fund organizations in Oregon thatprovide legal services to people who cannot afford a lawyer, promote diversity in the legal profession, andeducate the public about the law. When Oregon lawyers and licensed paralegals have client money, they put it in a special account. This account is called an Interest on Lawyer Trust Account or IOLTA. Banks and credit unions add up the interest from all the IOLTAs of their Oregon customers. Then they send that interest to the Oregon Law Foundation. When lawyers use Oregon Law Foundation Leadership Banks & Credit Unions, we get extra money. Leadership Banks & Credit Unions have agreed to pay interest rates well above what regular accounts pay. The Oregon Law Foundation also collects donations to advance the mission of the Oregon State Bar's OLIO program.
