  • Oregon State Bar Seeks Comment on Rules of Licensure Amendments

    The OSB invites comment on proposed amendments to its Rules of Licensure, all addressing the Bar's Minimum Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) credit requirements. The proposed amendments are here. Comment by Friday June 9 at feedback@osbar.org.

  • OSB Speaks Out for the Rule of Law

    A key element of the Oregon State Bar’s mission is to promote respect for the rule of law. On March 13, in response to recent efforts to punish the law firm Perkins Coie for its legal advocacy, President Myah Kehoe released a statement defending the independent judiciary and the rule of law. The OSB Board of Governors has also signed on to a joint statement by the American Bar Association and by bar organizations across the country.

  • OSB Seeks Comment on NextGen Bar Exam
    The Oregon State Bar Board of Bar Examiners (BBX) is seeking input on a recommendation for OSB implementation of the National Conference of Bar Examiners' (NCBE) NextGen Bar Exam. The new exam, first available in 2026, will increase focus on legal skills and analysis, in addition to the legal knowledge emphasized in the current Uniform Bar Exam. More information is here.
  • Court Approves Amendments to the Rules of Licensure

    The Oregon Supreme Court has approved amendments to the Rules of Licensure, addressing: 1) requirements of the New Lawyer Mentoring Program, and 2) MCLE credits for serving as a bar examiner. Both a clean copy of the new RLs, and a redline of the amendments are available. The new rules will be effective May 1, 2025.

  • Out of State Members: New Licensure Rule Effective 1/1/25

    If your principal office is outside Oregon, and you engage in the private practice of law in Oregon, new OSB Rule of Licensure 5.3 effective January 1, 2025, requires you to maintain malpractice coverage substantially equivalent to PLF primary coverage, unless otherwise exempt. See the Rules of Licensure here.
