Oregon resource coverage
Covers all 36 counties in the State of Oregon. Statewide resources and local court destinations are available for every county. We are expanding local legal-help, forms, procedures and services across all 36 counties.
1071 source-linked resources, including 981 expanded source profiles. The original 90 entries retain their original descriptions and September 28 review dates. Court destinations cover all 36 counties.
Each new profile explains what the source covers, how to use it and its limits. These are starting points; every subject still needs deeper research. Subject totals overlap because a resource may serve more than one category. General court directories and legal-help links are available separately and are not counted as subject-specific coverage below. All 36 counties now have a civil legal-aid provider referral from the published Oregon Law Center county map; eligibility and current intake availability require confirmation.
| Your category | Available starting points | Expanded profiles | Remaining gaps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Housing & Rent | 138 | 132 | County Community Action intake assignments and shared shelter, affordable-rental, youth, veteran and farmworker navigation added. Program-specific service areas, local housing-authority inventories, vacancies, waitlist openings, funding and individual eligibility remain incomplete or unknown. |
| Work & Wages | 152 | 147 | Added job search, training, apprenticeships and targeted work support. Current job vacancies, provider intake, training funding and individual eligibility require confirmation; local workforce-provider coverage remains incomplete. |
| Family Matters | 141 | 131 | Added child-support parentage, establishment, modification, hearing, parenting-plan and safety navigation. Contested parentage, custody, calculation inputs, individual court procedures and response deadlines still need case-specific review. |
| Consumer & Fraud | 102 | 99 | Added insurance claims, coverage questions, health review, property loss, business insurance, agent checks and life-policy navigation. Plan jurisdiction, contract exclusions, claim valuation and individual response periods remain unverified; older publisher examples are qualified. |
| Accident & Injury | 69 | 67 | Added denied health claim and external-review routes, vehicle repair and weather losses, and disability-income coordination. Medical necessity, fault, damages, plan jurisdiction and personal deadlines require individual review. |
| Criminal & Court | 124 | 122 | Available source profiles include appointed-counsel, guardian ad litem and citation forms, sentencing-rule navigation and corrections resources. The empty municipal-court forms page was excluded. Substantive defense, sentence calculation, post-conviction eligibility and later operative amendments remain unvalidated. |
| Money & Debt | 92 | 91 | Added support enforcement, tax-offset holds, overpayment review, payment credits and spousal-withholding navigation. Individual defenses, balances, exemptions, bankruptcy effects and court-response requirements remain incomplete. |
| Business Disputes | 103 | 102 | Added broad startup navigation. Complete city/county permit inventories, individualized entity and tax advice, live financing availability, industry-specific requirements and professional legal review remain incomplete or unknown. |
| Government & Benefits | 428 | 423 | Added DMV review and hearing routes and unemployment procedures; these source profiles do not consolidate current law, calculate deadlines or determine agency eligibility. |
| Civil Rights | 159 | 155 | Added official voting instructions and election-office contacts for all 36 counties, agency access policies and complaint sources; individual voter eligibility and civil-rights litigation are not validated. |
| Immigration | 28 | 26 | Added official ORSAA and undocumented/DACA student navigation with award-year and FAFSA-choice limitations. No immigration status, aid entitlement or confidentiality beyond publisher policy is determined. |
| Elder & Dependent Adult | 68 | 62 | Added long-term care benefit appeals, premium options, partnership coordination, universal life lapse and prepaid funeral sources. Care assessment, Medicaid eligibility, current product availability and individual financial decisions remain unverified. |
| School & Education | 88 | 88 | Added higher education complaints, school closures and records, authorization, adult access and financial aid navigation. Mixed award-year and closed/open statements are qualified; current availability, campus accommodation decisions, transfer acceptance and individual deadlines remain unverified. |
| Veterans | 84 | 80 | Added Oregon National Guard tuition assistance with award-year fee exclusions and GI Bill coordination questions; individual service and program eligibility remain unverified. |
| Online & Privacy | 59 | 58 | Added confidential insurer communications and DCBS records navigation. Processing is not instant; disclosure exemptions, current fees and individual privacy or response rights need review. |
Coverage and expansion for all 36 Oregon counties
797 shared statewide or federal resources appear in every county filter. Local counts below include court destinations and other county-specific listings; they measure available starting points, not completeness or guaranteed service availability.
Expansion starts with counties that have the fewest local resources and continues across all 36 counties. New sources are checked against their publisher, dated, and added with county scope and provenance. Each county's next research priorities remain visible below.
Federal Law copy
Search the local U.S. Code snapshots and appendix rules. Historical 2024 and release-unconfirmed editions retain source metadata and original-file downloads. These snapshots have not been verified as current law.
Oregon Criminal Law
Search the ORS Title 16 starter collection: nine chapters from the 2025 edition. Machine extraction is unreviewed; later amendments and operative versions require review.
Remaining research
Broader Oregon statutes and opinions, professionally reviewed legal rules and deadlines, eligibility rules, form document collections and comprehensive county procedures remain incomplete. Connected hosted research access remains unavailable in this local preview.
Source evidence
Expanded profiles retain publisher HTML, publisher directory JSON, a publisher PDF or a labeled publisher text extract. Each profile identifies its evidence type, source location, recorded review date and hash. County elections contacts are transcribed from the Secretary of State's public directory and need current-contact confirmation. County victim-assistance contacts come from the publisher's January 20, 2026 PDF directory and need currentness review. A source access date is not a legal effective date or proof that a service will accept a case.
