• The Refugee Resettlement Coalition of Lane County has been working on getting more low-cost help to refugees, asylum seekers and other immigrants in need of legal services. RRCLC is made up of local faith-based groups, service organizations and concerned community members. Catholic Community Services, which coordinates the coalition, has opened a new law services program in conjunction with Immigration Legal services in Portland. There is a shortage of immigration attorneys due to the change in federal administration. Innovation Law Lab is planning to send a lawyer to Eugene in September and do a training/workshop to train lawyers (current practicing attorneys in other areas of law, retired or non-practicing attorneys) to do asylum cases pro-bono. You can contact the attorney arranging the training, Christine Zeller-Powell at cezeller@hotmail.com. For more information about the Innovation Law Lab go to innovationlawlab.org.
