Housed within the University of Oregon School of Law, the Oregon Office for Community Dispute Resolution (OOCDR) supports the delivery of inclusive, accessible, and community-tailored mediation and restorative justice services across Oregon.
OOCDR supports Resolution Oregon — a network of Community Resolution Centers across the state — through grantmaking, consultation, training, research, technical assistance, networking, and collaborative initiatives.
Resolution Oregon provides mediation services, connects people to community organizations, and educates youth and adults to increase the community's capacity to resolve their own disputes.
Supporting Inclusive Access to Justice
Our program aims to increase underserved community member's access to preventative services and improve access to justice in Oregon.
