The Office of Civil Legal Aid (OCLA) seeks to expand opportunities for stakeholders to contribute to their biennial budget development process.

For more information about OCLA’s budget request process, please review the following resources:

• Memo outlining the process for developing the FY 2017-19 budget request.
• A Client Services Capacity/Client Population Matrix. The Matrix is a tool OCLA uses to help consider where and at what level client service capacity falls short of minimum access targets set in the Civil Justice Reinvestment Plan. View these frequently asked questions about the Matrix.

The Office of Civil Legal Aid and the Access to Justice Board invite you to
Civil Justice Reinvestment Round Two:
Building OCLA’s Next Biennial Budget Request

Friday, February 23, 2018 – 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.
Westin Seattle

Even though the 2018 legislative session is just starting, the Office of Civil Legal Aid (OCLA) is already beginning the process of developing their budget requests for the FY 2019-21 biennium. In an effort to offer a more inclusive approach to securing stakeholder input, OCLA, with support from the Access to Justice Board, is hosting a forum that will help inform both the focus and substance of the FY 2019-21 budget request. Everyone is invited to attend regardless of whether your organization receives state funding. For more information about the OCLA budget request process, please see the resources listed above.

To attend the forum, please RSVP here.

The forum follows the Legal Foundation of Washington’s annual Goldmark Award Luncheon. RSVP to attend the luncheon here.
