The following resources will be of use to attorneys, self-represented litigants, and attorney clients:
1) “Handling a Foreclosure Case,” OSB CLE, May 17-18, 2012
Non-judicial, judicial, contested, uncontested, deeds in lieu of foreclosures, and much, much more are discussed in this 2-day CLE. (Some Oregon county law libraries will have the 2-volume course-book from the 2012 CLE.)
Is rewriting the U.S. Constitution really that much of a “dangerous idea?”
See, e.g. Op-Ed Contributor, Louis Michael Seidman, “Let’s Give Up on the Constitution,” New York Times, December 30, 2012.
If business and labor models are changing, why aren’t government models?
This year (2013), the City Club of Portland will be studying “Oregon’s Property Tax System.” The bibliography to that future report will be useful indeed.
(City Club of Portland has produced many excellent, readable, and debatable (in the best sense of the word), reports.)
In the meantime, here are some other Oregon Property Tax System reports to get you started:
FACT: There are no fill-in-the-blank forms to submit to the court for grandparent visitation rights!
I repeat: THERE ARE NO OFFICIAL FORMS, NO UNOFFICIAL FORMS, and NO FILL-in-the-BLANK FORMS for petitioning the court for third-party or grandparent visitation rights.
If you don’t want to believe me, read the 2012 Legal Guide for Grandparents, which also says there are no fill-in-the-blank-forms.

Last, but not least:
We try to keep an eye out for any updates to our How to Find U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit briefs posts.
You can visit our previous post and also see the official United States Courts for the Ninth Circuit website.
Did you know there is an Oregon State Mobile Home Ombudsman? There is tons of information at their website and a toll-free number to call if you have more questions. Wowsers!
There is also a Manufactured Housing / Oregon State Tenants Association (MH/OSTA), also with loads of useful information. Double-wowsers!
Mobile home park disputes can also involve contract, criminal, public and personal records, estate, contractor, land use, local, and many other Oregon legal subjects.
Oregon Notary Public 2012-2013 Winter and Spring Training
I’m a self-proclaimed cheerleader for the Oregon Secretary of State’s Notary Training seminars. I insist notaries under my care attend training whenever they renew their commissions – and that includes me. I learn something new every time I attend – and the training is excellent.
So, if you haven’t attended an Oregon SOS notary seminar recently and don’t practice the Art of Notarization often and among experienced and well-trained notaries, sign up now to refresh your skills.
