Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyers Association

Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyers Association Championing justice, promoting individual rights and supporting the legal defense community through education and advocacy.

OCDLA is a community, but more akin to a family than an amorphous educational nonprofit. Our family offers the best training programs and seminars in the state. We produce trial books and aids that are the envy of the nation. And, if you really want to test our pedigree, visit the Library of Defense, which is developing into the best "find it when you need it" web resource of all. This is a family

that talks to each other too. We support list serves, committees of all sorts, amicus action, expert witness databases, legislative advocacy and even great social events and BBQ's. All this helps cement us as a community, allowing both individual and collective growth. By joining, you too can reap the benefits, grow professionally and contribute to Oregon's family of defenders.

What a fabulous evening! We toasted Gary Berlant, honoring him with the Ken Morrow Lifetime Achievement Award with tributes by Garren Pedemonte, Tony Rosta, and Pete Smith. And we raised more than $30,000 for our legislative work in Salem! Thanks to auctioneer Ed Kroll, emcee Kati Dunn, and all of our guests and donors, and especially Gary's kids, Ethan and Emily, this was an exceptionally memorable event!

Did you know that when people are released from jail, they are required to pay hundreds of dollars a year for their probation? Supervision fees create financial barriers to success and public safety.

We can limit unnecessary police stops and arrests like the kind that led to the deaths of Sandra Bland and Daunte Wright. This is a common sense way to stop unnecessary contact between police and our communities that will save lives.
