Janis Hardman, Phylis Myles, and Terri Kraemer at a 1996 Oregon Women Lawyers Board retreat.
The Janis Hardman Medical Support Grant grant honors the late Janis Hardman, who showed grace and poise in her battle with cancer and received tremendous support from the OWLS community.
The grant is available to lawyers who identify as women and/or as members of other historically disadvantaged groups who need financial support because they are unable to work or can only work a reduced schedule during a time of medical need.
The maximum grant is $3,500.
Recipients must be active members in good standing of the Oregon State Bar.
Recipients must also intend to continue in the practice or return to the practice of law. A short statement from a doctor indicating an inability to work, a need to reduce one’s work schedule, or a need to reduce one’s work schedule to provide care for a child, sibling, dependent, parent, grandparent, partner or spouse is required.
There is no deadline for submission of an application.
Apply for the grant using the online application form.
