CEJ was saddened to learn of the recent passing of Lara L. Skidmore, the Managing Partner of Troutman Sanders’ Portland office. Her husband, John Moot, has generously offered to fund a new domestic violence attorney position at Legal Aid Services of Oregon, in her memory.

John states: “I have committed to fund, in Lara’s name, an additional Legal Aid Services attorney in Portland for a minimum of eight years, focusing on areas that Lara cared about the most.  With the help of additional donations from her friends and supporters and some additional work on my part, I am hopeful we can push this to ten years of full funding, which will enable hundreds, if not thousands, of people who cannot afford an attorney to get the legal services they deserve. In the process, this effort will ensure that we build something positive out of her tragic and premature death.”

Donations in Lara’s honor can be made to CEJ on this page. We thank you for honoring her memory and for helping to support domestic violence survivors in Oregon.

CEJ's 2018-19 Annual Report is scheduled hit mailboxes across the state during the week of July 1, 2019. We're excited to share the accomplishments of our donors, volunteers, board, and staff.

With such a big undertaking, we are bound to make some mistakes. You can see our list of corrections and additions here.

We wouldn't have such strong statewide support for legal aid without you. Together, we are legal aid! Thanks again.
