The Council on Court Procedures is changing internet hosts, but the domain and the content remain (essentially) the same, with invaluable information on the Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure. There will be some adjustments, and you may need to fix your links, as the migration progresses, but time heals all wobbles, or maybe that’s wobbles all heels.
It seems that everywhere one turns, Congress, state legislators, and local elected officials are making “Grand Bargains.” So, what is a Grand Bargain?
A “bargain” is, generally speaking (in “dictionary” language), an agreement by one party to buy and another to sell. (There must also be “consideration,” but that is another topic of discussion.) See definitions in the Free Dictionary and in the free, online Merriam-Webster.
“Grand” means, simply speaking, large, in size or scope.

Oregon’s Multnomah Law Library* is one of the state’s best legal research collections – and you can now search their catalog online: Multnomah Law Library’s Catalog
For links to other Oregon state, county, and academic law libraries, link to the directory of Oregon county law libraries and to Oregon Law Libraries: Hours and Types of Service.
*Are you wondering why the Multnomah Law Library isn’t called the Multnomah County Law Library? It’s because the law library is a nonprofit, not a county department, unlike other Oregon county law libraries. (Read a brief history of the Oregon county law libraries.)
The Oregon Legislature now has 1953-1981 ORS on their website. Stay tuned for more superseded ORS to be added to the online collection.

State of Oregon v. John Elwood Causey, Jr., A148112, 265 Or App __ (2014) (Multnomah County Circuit Court, 100646533)
Excerpt from case:
“DE MUNIZ, S. J.
Assume for the purpose of this blog post that you want (and need) to find yesterday’s (August 11th) Very Important, Big News AG opinion about Treasurer Ted Wheeler. (Legal researchers are funny that way. We can’t rely just on news stories. Go figure.)
Here’s the Willamette Week story: Attorney General Says Treasurer Ted Wheeler Is Ineligible to Run For Re-Election In 2016*
Here’s the Stateman-Journal story: AG: Wheeler can’t run for reelection in 2016
Position: Program Analyst 4 (State Public Guardian) (LTCO14-8033): Application deadline, August 18, 2013
“The Oregon Office of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman is currently recruiting for one (1) permanent, full-time management service (non-supervisory) Program Analyst 4 (State Public Guardian) position. This recruitment will be used to establish a list of qualified candidates to fill the current vacancy and may be used to fill additional vacancies as they occur.
This new position of State Public Guardian will be housed under the umbrella of The Office of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman. The State Public Guardian in Oregon was created through the passage of SB 1553 in February 2014.”
Nope. The ORCP is updated biennially so the 2013 edition online at the Legislature’s Court Rules website is the current one.
The next ORCP will be the 2015 edition of the ORS (Oregon Revised Statutes), which will appear online in early 2016 (after the 2015 Oregon Legislative session). Sometimes there are “out of cycle” amendments, but they are rare. (See previous blog post on the subject: Out of Cycle Changes to Court Rules.)
The authority on all of this is the Council on Court Procedures. You can read the current ORCP at their website and also track proposed amendments.
