In 2025, St. Andrew Legal Clinic remains steadfast in its mission to provide accessible family law services to Oregon's low- and moderate-income individuals. Our sliding-scale fee structure ensures that essential legal assistance is available to those who might otherwise be unable to afford representation. This year, we've observed a significant increase in demand, with nearly 70% of cases being referred out due to limited resources. To address this growing need, we are strengthening partnerships with fellow nonprofits and community organizations, aiming to expand our reach and support for vulnerable populations. Our commitment to justice for all remains unwavering, and we are dedicated to adapting and responding to the evolving challenges faced by the communities we serve.

This month, we’re excited to share some incredible developments at St. Andrew Legal Clinic. We’ve officially partnered with the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization (IRCO) to expand our services to survivors of sexual and domestic abuse within immigrant and refugee communities. This collaboration marks a significant step in our mission to ensure access to justice for all, especially those who face unique challenges.

We’re also celebrating the one-year anniversary of our in-person Night Clinic program. Over the past year, our dedicated volunteer attorneys have provided critical legal assistance to more than 1,500 individuals. As we look to the future, we’re calling on more volunteers and law firms to join us in expanding this impactful service.

Stay tuned for more updates and opportunities to get involved with our mission to make justice accessible to everyone.
