Rule 1.200 Information on Free or Low-cost Local Legal Services

Every judicial district in Oregon has to put up information about free or low-cost legal help available in that area. This information needs to be posted somewhere people will actually notice it, not hidden away.

The posted information must include phone numbers people can call to reach these services. It also has to explain what kind of help each service offers, so people know where to turn based on their specific needs.

This rule exists to help people who cannot afford a lawyer find assistance more easily. If you are dealing with a legal problem and need help but do not have money for an attorney, courthouses are required to give you a starting point to look for support.
