Pro Bono Representation Panel: In 1989, the United States District Court for the District of Oregon established a Pro Bono Representation Panel of volunteer attorneys. The purpose of this panel is to represent pro se litigants in the prosecution of their civil actions before the Court. Panel appointment and use is supervised by the District's Pro Bono Panel Administrator. Upon the filing of an order appointing pro bono counsel, the Court will ask an attorney on the panel to investigate the plaintiff's case and accept representation if there is a meritorious claim. Funds are available for reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to a decision to accept or decline representation. Should an attorney accept representation and prevail, attorney's fees may be claimed as provided by law. The Court actively seeks qualified attorneys to join the panel, and we ask you to consider volunteering your services to this important effort. Please complete the application form included in this packet and file it along with your application for admission.
