Criminal Defense Association

 

The Criminal Defense Association of Lewis & Clark Law (CDALCL) is a student-run organization focused on recruiting and preparing students for a career in criminal defense, establishing connections between students and criminal defense attorneys, and maintaining an open environment where anyone interested in criminal defense can come learn more about the field. 

Oregon is currently experiencing a public defense crisis that is worsening with each arrest. Over 3,000 criminal defendants in Oregon are without assistance of counsel. With the effective repeal of Measure 110 through HB 4002, this unrepresented list will expand.

For those students who want to help the average citizen, for those students who want to fight back against the ever growing power of the police state, for those students who want less people in cages, CDALCL is here.
