The case management systems for the circuit courts and tax court will be offline from 5:00 pm Friday, October 4th to 8:00 am Monday, October 7th to allow for upgrade installation. It is highly recommended that attorneys who have hearings on October 7th, 8th or 9th submit all documents by Wednesday, October 2nd to ensure that the court has timely access. The above mentioned courts will also limit the types of hearings scheduled on October 7th. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Sam DuPree at the Oregon Judicial Department at L.S.Dupree@ojd.state.or.us.
Additionally, the Oregon Judicial Department (OJD) will conduct a major update to the Odyssey Court Management System in October. To ensure a smooth transition, Chief Justice Meagan Flynn has issued CJO 24-015. This order closes all OJD courts on Tuesday October 8th and extends the statutory time limit for filings pursuant to ORS 174.120(2)(c).
