| The Oregon State Bar is currently considering a legal paraprofessional licensing program, which would authorize paraprofessionals to provide limited legal services—without attorney supervision—in family law and landlord-tenant matters. The full report and recommendations to the Board of Governors can be read here. The bar is seeking input from the public via a brief questionnaire. IAALS encourages our partners in the fight to close the justice gap and expand the reach of legal services to offer feedback. | ||||||||||||
