CEJ and Lane County to Honor Joe Richards at Regional Luncheon
The Campaign for Equal Justice and the Lane County legal community will honor Joe Richards at CEJ’s Lane County Luncheon on November 1. Joe devoted most of his career to a practice focused on employment and labor law matters for private and public bodies, especially school districts. He retired from Luvaas Cobb at the end of 2016 after more than 60 years but continued to provide legal assistance through pro bono work for the Lane County legal aid office. Joe was a stalwart supporter of legal aid throughout his career and supported CEJ since its beginnings in 1991. Joe was a leader in Lane County for championing access to justice and dedicating both his time and his dollars to legal aid. He will be greatly missed.
