For Lawyers
Welcome to the Victims’ Rights Advice Project, which provides information and brief legal advice to victims of hate and bias crimes in Oregon. The Project includes an online Portal through which individuals can submit questions about victims’ rights and volunteer attorneys can provide brief legal advice in response to those questions at no cost to the person asking the question. To learn more about volunteering, including the estimated time commitment, training and technical assistance provided to volunteer attorneys, attorney-client privilege and work product, and other related matters, see the Attorney FAQs below.
