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.
