Here in Oregon we are in a strange sort of campaign for continued county law library funding. If you would like to weigh in on the subject, but don’t know anything about the business of public law libraries, you need to do a little research.

Public law libraries have management and service profiles, and demands, that are different from academic (law school) and law firm libraries, sometimes hugely different.

You can talk to your county law librarian if you have one, you can talk to me, or, you can do some independent reading.

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.
