The Oregon State Bar 2009 edition of their Oregon Legislation Highlights arrived today and we’re very happy. It organizes by subject (or by legal practice area) over 400 bills and measures from the 2009 Oregon Legislative Session and is an invaluable research tool before and after the arrival of the 2009 Oregon Revised Statutes.

RE: 2007 SB 10 in the Oregon Supreme Court (not in the ORS, but you can find the enrolled bill at the Oregon Legislature’s website).

I’m well overdue with my post about this case, but maybe I will be just in time if the Oregon Supreme Court hands down their decision soon.
