It is the mission of the Oregon State Bar to serve justice through promoting respect for the rule of law, improving the quality of legal services, and by increasing access to justice. The Oregon State Bar is a mandatory organization formally created as a public entity by the Oregon Legislative Assembly in 1935. However, it was precluded by a voluntary, private organization founded in 1890. The purpose of the Oregon State Bar is to regulate, license, discipline, and support those licensed to practice law in Oregon.

Oregon Public Records Law

O.R.S. 192.410 et seq.

The Oregon Public Records Law, first enacted in 1973, is a series of laws designed to guarantee that the public has access to public records of government bodies at all levels. The ORS 192.410(4)(a) says that a public record includes any writing that contains information that relates to the conduct of the public's business, is prepared, owned, used or maintained by a public body regardless of physical form or characteristics. If a record (a) does not relate to the conduct of the public's business and (b) is contained on a privately owned computer", then it is not a public record as defined in the law.

Anyone can request public records and a statement of purpose is not required. There are no restrictions on the use of records nor is there a specified time limit for responses.
