Juvenile Law Resource Center
The Juvenile Law Resource Center (JLRC) assists attorneys
representing parents in child welfare dependency proceedings
throughout Oregon. The JLRC provides written resources including
case law updates, sample motions, practice guides and issue briefs.
We periodically offer trainings for parents' lawyers in areas
identified as most important to practitioners. Finally, we are
available to consult with attorneys on individual cases.
