The Oregon Business Litigation Blog posts about the Loosli case (A130044):
Excerpt: “Today the Oregon Court of Appeals issued an en banc opinion further refining the economic loss doctrine, finding no liability when a local government makes statements to a private individual that turn out to be wrong.
In Loosli v. City of Salem, plaintiffs sought to open an auto dealership in Salem, and to that end applied for a state-mandated vehicle dealer certificate….”

Yes, it’s that time of year again (to be honest, it’s a little past it) and the Law Librarian Blog October 25th posting, “Just in Time for Holiday Shopping” comes to our rescue with some ideas about how to reduce the number of those deadly mail-slot droppings.
Court reporters have to be some of the nicest and most patient people you’ll ever find in a courtroom. They also perform magic when transcribing their recordings. Heaven knows lawyers, judges, and witnesses mumble, garble, and otherwise mangle our fair tongue.
Evan Schaeffer’s Trial Practice blog (as opposed to his Legal Underground one), has a post, Treating Court Reporters Right:
“An article titled “What court reporters want” from the Illinois Bar Journal contains these tips from reporter Andrea Trippi Else—“ (Read post and link from here.)
The Multnomah Bar Association has posted the results of their “Generation Gap” survey, “Bridging Generations: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, and Net Gen.” From the introduction:
“The Multnomah Bar Association (MBA), hearing concerns among attorneys about the “Generation Gap,” with some experienced attorneys questioning the work ethic of newer attorneys and some newer attorneys expressing displeasure about the life requirements imposed by their firms, decided to launch a project to understand the challenges and find solution . . . at the very least to replace complaining with constructive discussion.
The Managing Partners and Young Lawyers Section of the MBA formed a joint subcommittee to formulate and implement a plan to study the issue, report findings, and make recommendations. The committee members discussed their own experiences and observations during a lengthy process of developing a membership fact-finding survey. The survey was sent to 3,609 members of the MBA, 1,325 or 36% of whom responded …”
Julie Tripps’ column in Sunday’s Oregonian, 10/21/07, “IRS could toughen on like-kind exchanges,” is interesting to read next to the Oregon Supreme Court opinion from 10/18/07, Logan v Sivers (S54251). A Media Release summary is here.
I’m not sure how I missed AltLaw, but thanks to all the others (including this one) who did not miss it, here you go. Altlaw, in their own words:
“The law is meant to belong to the people, but it can be surprisingly hard to find. Case reports, a major part of the laws of the United States, are hard to get at, and even when on the Internet, rarely searchable. To get full access you generally need either a library of law reports, or an expensive subscription to an online database, which can cost hundreds of dollars per hour.
AltLaw is a small effort to change that—to make the common law a bit more common. AltLaw provides the first free, full-text searchable database of Supreme Court and Federal Appellate case reports. It is a resource for attorneys, legal scholars, and the general public.”
I’ve blogged before here at Oregon Legal Research about free and low-cost legal research databases, so add AltLaw to the pool.
I haven’t looked at online translation services lately, but luckily for you, the Bates Information Service has. Here is their October InfoTip on Translation Tools.
