“No right to prosecute: With no district attorney in office, defense lawyers say all ongoing criminal cases must be dismissed,” by Phil Wright, East Oregonian, July 14, 2011
The following Oregon law libraries have a selection of credit-worthy Continuing Legal Education (CLE) course materials available for members of the Oregon State Bar (OSB) and others who can use the CLE course materials to fulfill their own profession’s CE requirements.
Some of the County Law Libraries have very short (3 to 5-day) attorney CLE check-out periods in November and December and each has law library has its own circulation (book check-out) policy.
Please call ahead (or check websites) to confirm title availability, checkout rules, and law library hours.
Whenever someone tells you that they “don’t need no stinkin’ law library,” beware – why doesn’t that person want you to have access to the nation’s laws and to the collected wisdom of legal scholars through the centuries?
U.S. Supreme Court Justices are some of the smartest legal scholars in the country and not only do they have the smartest law clerks from the best law schools, but they have a stellar law library. You don’t hear any of them saying, “why don’t we save some taxpayer money by closing the law library” – do you?
I saw this quote in a recent article about the retirement of the current U.S. Supreme Court Law Librarian – they have a staff of 28!
