Civil Rights Project
Now hiring law student interns for 2024. Learn more.
The criminal legal system in the Oregon raises serious constitutional and civil rights concerns, which play out on a number of fronts: racial disparities in arrests, convictions, and sentencing; criminalization of poverty; misconduct and abuse by law enforcement; and, cruel and unusual conditions of confinement, to name a few.
Our Civil Rights Project examines, tracks, and litigates civil rights issues related to the criminal justice system. The CRP seeks to secure equal and fair treatment for individuals intersecting with the criminal legal system, and accountability and systemic reform through strategic litigation, public education, programming, and policy advocacy.
