Join Oregon Women Lawyers on the afternoon of Friday, October 26, for our Fall CLE, co-hosted by Mercy Corps.
Speakers will provide context and factual information about Oregon’s refugee communities. After learning the basics, participants will learn how they can apply their legal skills to provide direct assistance to Oregon refugees and immigrant communities.
Immediately following the CLE, OWLS will host a reception honoring women judges at the Mercy Corps Action Center, which will feature an exhibit on Mercy Corps’ work with refugee communities. We look forward to seeing you there!
Sponsorship opportunities are available. For more information, contact Linda Tomassi.
