The Washington State Office of Civil Legal Aid (OCLA) is an independent judicial branch agency. Created with an understanding that the provision of legal aid services to indigent persons is an important component of the state’s responsibility to provide for the proper and effective administration of justice, OCLA’s mission is to secure, invest and oversee the use of public funding for civil legal aid to low-income people in Washington State and to ensure accountability for public funds dedicated to the purpose.

This position supports a broad portfolio of programs including eviction defense, individuals reentering society following completion of their terms of incarceration, and individuals facing foreclosure.

OCLA does not directly provide services. Instead, OCLA contracts with civil legal aid providers who provide services to eligible, impacted individuals. OCLA ensures the contractors are accountable to high standards of practice, data reporting, and engagement with disproportionately impacted communities.
