Public Resource dot com has started putting various state building, fire, mechanical, etc. codes online, at their codes dot com site.

Keep an eye on the site – and on everything else they are doing at Public Resource dot org – very exciting.

(But, please, be sure to check with your own jurisdiction’s code enforcement staff. Building codes are updated piecemeal and in full, and it takes time for third-party database vendors to update their own holdings from official sources. Links to my previous posts on Building Codes are here and here.)

Did you know that there was a Pacific Northwest Paralegal Association (PNPA)?

The association offers members training and networking opportunities. PNPA members and employers of paralegals can also make use, for no cost, of their Job Bank.

If you have questions, look at their Contacts Us list.

Speaking of the Appellate Courts, there is a call out for submissions for the 2009 edition of the Appellate Almanac. Details are at the OSB Appellate Practice Section homepage; the announcement reads:

“CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR THE 2009 APPELLATE ALMANAC

The Executive Committee of the Appellate Practice Section of the Oregon State Bar is seeking submissions for the 2009 edition of the Oregon Appellate Almanac. The almanac is a year-end review of the appellate world in Oregon. We are looking for submissions that have a connection to the personalities or happenings for appellate practitioners. Articles should range from 500 to 1,000 words. Please use endnotes rather than footnotes if you feel the need to notate your work. You will be notified if your submission is accepted. Your name will appear in the next volume of the Oregon Appellate Almanac.

Wikiproject Oregon has this story: Local Politics and Wikipedia

“Wikipedia now covers all Oregon state senators!

WikiProject Oregon just hit an exciting milestone: with Esprqii’s recent addition of a brief biography of Senator Laurie Monnes Anderson, Wikipedia now has an article on every current member of the Oregon State Senate. Some have just the basics (we call them “stubs”), but others offer a pretty good introduction to the senator’s personal background and career, carefully sourced to the legislature’s web site and newspaper coverage.” (for full story)

This blog post is written primarily for the new appellate court brief writer, either the new lawyer or the pro se litigant.

Not all materials on briefs writing are online (surprise, surprise), so be prepared to visit an Oregon law library:

1) OSB “Appeal and Review” (loose leaf) (from the Oregon State Bar or an Oregon law library)

2) Various CLE course materials on the Oregon appeals process (titles vary from law library to law library depending on collection size and purchasing decisions).
