We heard a good-news update on the Oregon Ballot Measure Archive Project, which founder and leader Joshua Binus says is alive and well.
From Joshua:
“The biggest news to report of late has more to do with the movement of the collection into a permanent repository. Portland State University’s Special Collections has formally adopted BMAP and has been working to organize it for public access over the past year. We will do some media outreach once it’s ready.
FAQ: “Do you have any books on careers in the law?”
(Note for career seekers: do not confuse books “about the law” or books on “what lawyers do” with books on “the practice of law.”)
Law librarians are often asked if we have any books in our law libraries on what a legal career might look like, e.g. what does a prosecutor do? what does a patent lawyer do? what jobs are there for law school graduates? etc. Surprisingly, or not, most of us have very few, if any books on this subject in our law libraries.
Oregon family law attorneys give away a lot of free information and collaborate to make available lots of free family law forms.
The Oregon Judicial Department Family Law Facilitators offer free advice and invaluable services to many self-represented litigants, but family law can become complex very quickly when there are children, substantial financial assets, or simply whenever there is no meeting of the minds.
Family law attorneys also provide lots of information, which you can find on their websites. I’ve come across this one recently, a Northwest law firm that has a collection of articles and a guide to divorce in Oregon, all free.
