The Citizen Review Boards have developed a new statewide CRB Case Notes Sheet to guide the board members regarding areas of inquiry.

If your child is involved with the juvenile court because of allegations of abuse or neglect, you may be entitled to a court-appointed attorney. Contact the clerk’s office at the Juvenile court in your county to apply. Here is a directory of the Courts' hours of operation.

If you are not eligible for a court-appointed attorney, or your child is not involved with the child welfare system, other legal assistance may be available:

For a referral to an attorney, please contact the Oregon State Bar’s Referral and Information Service and Modest Means Program
For legal assistance to low-income people in Oregon please visit this list of Legal Aid & Volunteer Lawyer Programs in Oregon

For more information about the child welfare system in general, please see A Family's guide to the Child Welfare System.
