OLSF is composed of members of the Oregon State Bar who seek to create a sustainable society and to encourage the legal profession and individual lawyers to increase their involvement in this endeavor.  OLSF is guided by a steering committee of Oregon lawyers.

Promoting Green Law Office Practices:

Other active initiatives:

Education.  OLSF conducts seminars on sustainability concepts and practices, some accredited by the Oregon State Bar.  It also conducts leadership seminars for small groups of lawyers.

Laws and Regulations.  OLSF is developing tools for assessing laws and regulations through the lens of sustainability.  Its first project is a review of the Oregon Business Corporation Act.

Law-Sustainability Study.  OLSF is facilitating a statewide study on the interface between (1) the legal profession and (2) the sustainability movement.  Representatives from sections of OSB, Oregon's three law schools, and OLSF are involved.

Sustainable Lawyer Handbook.  OLSF is developing a handbook for lawyers on how to green both their personal and professional lives.

Sharing Know-How with Other States:

As a pioneer in exploring the interface between the legal profession and sustainability, OLSF shares know-how with lawyers in other states.  If you are interested in information about how to start a group in your state, please contact Emily at 503.227.2315 or info@earthleaders.org.
