The Oregon Supreme Court Council on Inclusion and Fairness (OSCCIF) works to ensure that all persons have equal access to Oregon state courts for fair and efficient dispute resolution. It also advises the Chief Justice on matters of systemic racial, ethnic, and gender bias in the Oregon Judicial Department.
Please note that Oregon law prevents the OSCCIF from giving legal advice or help with specific cases. If you need individual legal help, please check the following for helpful links.
