Championing justice, promoting individual rights and supporting the legal defense community through education and advocacy.
OCDLA is a community, but more akin to a family than an amorphous educational nonprofit. Our family offers the best training programs and seminars in the state. We produce trial books and aids that are the envy of the nation. And, if you really want to test our pedigree, visit the Library of Defense, which is developing into the best "find it when you need it" web resource of all. This is a family that talks to each other too. We support list serves, committees of all sorts, amicus action, expert witness databases, legislative advocacy and even great social events and BBQ's. All this helps cement us as a community, allowing both individual and collective growth. By joining, you too can reap the benefits, grow professionally and contribute to Oregon's family of defenders.
