Delegate Resolution No. 4 - Membership Survey on Disability
Whereas, the incidence of disability among lawyers and the level of disability access within the legal community and justice system are of great significance to the Oregon State Bar insofar as its missions to regulate and to educate Oregon lawyers;
Whereas, the level of disability access for the public within the legal community and justice system is of great significance to Oregon lawyers and is consistent with the mission of the Oregon State Bar to promote access to justice;
Whereas, the Oregon State Bar, its members, and the public have benefitted
from such projects as the Diversity Summit, Race and Ethnic
Bias Task Force and the Gender Fairness Task Force, and OSB membership surveys;
Whereas, to date there has not been a comprehensive survey on disability incidence, access and concerns within the legal community and justice system in Oregon;
Whereas, the Disability Law Section has determined that a comprehensive
survey on disability issues will assist the Oregon State Bar in its missions
above-stated, and the Section seeks responsibility to undertake such a survey
in order to obtain baseline data on disability issues within the legal community
and justice system; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, that the Oregon State Bar, by and through the Disability
Law Section, shall sponsor a comprehensive survey of its active Oregon members,
to determine the incidence of disability and disability concerns among its members;
the level of disability access and disability concerns within the legal community
and justice system; and related issues; and the findings will be published for
the benefit of the Oregon State Bar, its members, and the public.
Resolved, that the Oregon State Bar shall propose a comprehensive assessment by the Bar and the courts to determine the incidence of disability and disability concerns among its members, the public, and the justice system, and the findings will be published for the benefit of the Bar, the courts and the public. Members of the Disability Law Section of the Oregon State Bar will be solicited to assist in this project. The financial contribution of the Oregon State Bar for this project shall not exceed $20,000.

BOG Resolution No. 6 - Supports adequate funding for low-income legal services
Whereas, providing equal access to justice and high quality legal representation to all Oregonians are central to the mission of the Oregon State Bar; and
Whereas, programs providing civil legal services to low income Oregonians are a fundamental component of the Bar’s effort to provide such access; and
Whereas, legal services are unavailable for 80% of eligible clients needing help; and
Whereas, federal funding for Oregon’s civil legal services programs is substantially less than it was in 1980 and there have been severe restrictions imposed on the work that programs receiving LSC funding may undertake on behalf of their clients; and
Whereas, Oregon lawyers and the Bar have long supported mechanisms to provide funding for civil legal services programs, including the surcharge on civil filing fees, the fundraising efforts of the Campaign for Equal Justice, and the Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts program; and
Whereas, assistance from the Oregon State Bar and the legal community is critical to maintaining and developing resources that will provide low-income Oregonians meaningful access to the justice system: now therefore, be it
Resolved, that the Oregon State Bar:
(1) Strengthen its commitment and ongoing efforts to improve the availability of a full range of legal services to all citizens of our state, through the development and maintenance of adequate support and funding of civil legal services programs for low-income Oregonians.
(2) Request that Congress and the President of the United States make a genuine commitment to equal justice by adequately funding the Legal Services Corporation.
(3) Actively participate in the efforts of the Campaign for Equal Justice to increase contributions by establishing goals of a 100% participation rate by members of the House of Delegates and of a 50% contribution rate by all lawyers.
(4) Support the Oregon Law Foundation and its efforts to increase resources through the Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts (IOLTA) program, and
(5) Encourage Oregon lawyers to support civil legal services programs through enhanced pro bono work.

Delegate Resolution No. 1 - Creates HOD listserves
Whereas, since the creation of the House of Delegates (HOD) it has become apparent that communication between and amongst Delegates through the Board of Governors (BOG) is cumbersome and inefficient; and
Whereas, it would be to the benefit of the Oregon State Bar (OSB) if a better communication system utilizing modern technology enabled Delegates to communicate with each other in real time; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, that the OSB create, institute and maintain a general HOD listserve and one for each HOD region dedicated exclusively to HOD members and HOD business.
Further resolved, that the OSB shall include the following information on the OSB website, regularly updated:
(1) Minutes of BOG meetings
(2) Budget of OSB
(3) Attorney disciplinary matters Final disposition
of attorney disciplinary proceedings that resulted in reprimand suspension,
disbarment, or Form B resignations within the last 20 years
(43) Current OSB membership list with address (regular
and e-mail) and membership number; however, an attorney may choose not
to list his/her address on the website.
Further resolved, that this listserve and other information be up and
running by December 1 March 1, 1999
2000.

Delegate Resolution No. 2 - Creates a BOG/HOD Annual Meeting study group
Whereas, the annual meeting of the Oregon State Bar for decades served as a focal point for social, professional, educational and sporting activities between Bar members as well as their families; and
Whereas, the annual convention of the Oregon State Bar served as an opportunity for new lawyers to meet older members of the Bar and become acquainted with the benefits of Bar membership; and
Whereas, the annual convention of the Oregon State Bar brought together lawyers from all the different factions and specialties within the Bar and provided a means for lawyers to communicate with one another as colleagues rather than adversaries; and
Whereas, a large number of members of the Oregon State Bar wish to see the annual meeting reinstated; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Delegates that:
(1) The president of the Oregon State Bar shall appoint a committee consisting of two members of the Board of Governors and three members of the House of Delegates and the executive director of the Oregon State Bar to study means by which the annual convention of the Oregon State Bar may be reinstated on a cost-effective basis;
(2) The committee shall report its findings and recommendations to the Board of Governors on or before February 1, 2000 and the Board of Governors shall proceed to reimplement an annual meeting of the Oregon State Bar as soon as reasonably practicable but no later than the year 2002 if the Board of Governors finds that the annual meeting can be reinstated in a cost-effective fashion;
(3) The committee report shall be mailed to the members of the House of Delegates on or before July 1, 2000, together with a summary of the Board of Governors’ actions pursuant to the report.

Delegate Resolution No. 3 - Expresses appreciation to Senator Kate Brown and Representative Lane Shetterly
Whereas, State Senator Kate Brown has served in the Oregon Legislature as a Representative from 1991 until 1996 and in the Oregon State Senate from 1997 to date; and
Whereas, Kate Brown is minority leader of the State Senate; and
Whereas, Kate Brown has served on the judiciary committees of the House and Senate during her tenure as a legislator; and
Whereas, Kate Brown has been a member of the Oregon State Bar since 1985; and
Whereas, Kate Brown has worked constructively and tirelessly to improve Oregon’s justice system, to protect the rights of Oregon citizens and to assist the Oregon State Bar in improving the laws of the State of Oregon; and
Whereas, Lane Shetterly has served for two terms in the Oregon State House of Representatives and chaired the Judiciary Committee in 1997 and the Civil Law Judiciary Committee in 1999; and
Whereas, Lane Shetterly has been a skillful and effective moderating force bringing about consensus between opposing factions in the furtherance of improving Oregon’s justice system and assisting the Oregon State Bar in improving the laws of the State of Oregon; and
Whereas, Lane Shetterly has been a member of the Oregon State Bar since 1981, now, therefore, be it
Resolved, the House of Delegates of the Oregon State Bar hereby expresses its sincere appreciation to Senator Kate Brown and Representative Lane Shetterly for their hard work and dedication to the improvement of the laws and the administration of justice in Oregon. The House of Delegates is especially grateful to members of the Bar such as Senator Brown and Representative Shetterly who have sacrificed and will continue to sacrifice professional and financial gain in order to serve the public in the Oregon Legislature.

Delegate Resolution No. 6 - Opposes constitutional amendments proposed by Ballot Measures 69-75
Whereas part of the core mission of the Oregon State Bar is to advance the science of jurisprudence, improve the administration of justice, and apply professional knowledge and experience to the public good; and
Whereas the Oregon State Bar regards the constitution as a framework for government with a time-tested system of checks and balances, and which defines enforceable rights; and
Whereas the Oregon State Bar regards the Oregon Bill of Rights, contained in Article 1 of the Oregon Constitution, as containing fundamental protections for individuals accused by the State of having committed a crime; and
Whereas the Oregon State Bar regards the constitution as a framework that should not be casually or repeatedly amended each election cycle to include matters that are more properly the subject of legislation, or to include rights that are unenforceable against the state; and
Whereas the Oregon State Bar believes that amending the constitution in order to avoid court challenges to legislation, or to avoid subsequent legislative amendment, is a process that tends to undermine the essential purpose of our system of checks and balances; and
Whereas in 1996 the Oregon State Bar House Of Delegates unanimously resolved to oppose Measure 40; and
Whereas the Oregon Supreme Court declared Measure 40 to be unconstitutional in that it amended more than one section of the constitution without a separate vote; and
Whereas in 1997 the Oregon Legislature passed implementing legislation for Measure 40, known as SB 936, which enacted laws that largely remain in effect today; and
Whereas the 1999 Legislature has referred certain measures (Measures 69-75) to the voters with the representation that they are nothing more than separate provisions of former Measure 40; and
Whereas many of the proposed ballot measures would dangerously alter the system of checks and balances; and
Whereas many of the measures would unfairly diminish certain rights
of accused citizens under the Oregon Bill of Rights; and
Whereas many of the measures would unnecessarily clutter the constitution by placing matters in the constitution that already exist in current law; and
Whereas these measures would unnecessarily clutter the constitution because the rights they establish would be unenforceable against the state through legal action; and
Whereas many of the measures may properly be the subject of legislation, but are not appropriate constitutional amendments; now therefore, be it
Resolved that Ballot Measures 69-75 should be defeated at the polls
because they degrade the State Constitution, and they alter the system
of checks and balances by tying the hands of judges and future legislatures,
they needlessly erode Oregon’s Bill of Rights, they unjustifiably alter the
balance of the criminal justice system by granting power to the State and increasing
the danger of convicting innocent individuals accused of crime, and are unnecessary
as constitutional measures.
The Oregon State Bar is also instructed to take reasonable steps that will assist the people of the State of Oregon in understanding the impact of these measures by taking the following action:
1. Transmitting the position expressed in this resolution to the editorial boards of the state's major newspapers and broadcast media;
2. Sponsoring citizen forums to discuss and debate these measures in various locations around the state prior to the November 1999 election, including Portland, Pendleton, Eugene, Bend, and Medford, such sponsorship to include the expenditure of communications funds for purposes of renting space and public address equipment, and for advertising the forum in the intended locale.

Delegate Resolution No. 5 - Directs oversight of PLF lobbying
Whereas, the Chief Executive Officer of the Professional Liability Fund consulted with legislators as early as November, 1998, regarding proposed amendments to ORS 419B.010, the mandatory child abuse reporting statute, advocating certain changes which were designed to diminish the protection afforded children by that statute;
Whereas, the Chief Executive Officer of the Professional Liability Fund presented written testimony in support of House Bill 2226 and specifically in support of that portion of HB 2226 which abolished private causes of action for violation of the mandatory child abuse reporting statute (ORS 419B.010);
Whereas, the Chief Executive Officer of the Professional Liability Fund, during a meeting of a work group of the Senate Judiciary Committee and in support of HB 2226, denigrated the family members who would seek to impose civil liability on non-reporters and obtain compensation on behalf of child abuse victims;
Whereas, the Chief Executive Officer of the Professional Liability Fund did not clearly have and should not have had authorization from the Board of Governors to advocate such changes and to present such testimony or make such comments;
Whereas, the Oregonian published an article by columnist Steve Duin highly critical of the activities of the Oregon State Bar and the Professional Liability Fund in seeking to immunize lawyers from civil liability for violations of the mandatory child abuse reporting statute, a type of publicity which was both foreseeable and inconsistent with the Bar’s public education efforts;
Whereas, none of the activities of the Chief Executive Officer of the Professional Liability Fund was within any policy adopted by the Board of Governors or the House of Delegates and each of these activities was in violation of the mission of the Oregon State Bar and its duty to protect the most vulnerable members of society; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, that the Board of Governors is directed to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that the Professional Liability Fund, whether acting through its Board of Directors or its Chief Executive Officer
(1) Refrain from any lobbying activities; or in the alternative,
(2) Refrain from any lobbying activities unless specifically authorized or directed to engage in such activities by the Board of Governors; and
(3) Honor all aspects of its mission and that of the Bar, including consumer protection and public respect for the law.
Further resolved, that the Board of Governors is directed to amend Chapter 11 of the Board’s Policies, applying to Legislation and Public Policy, to specify clearly that these policies apply to the Professional Liability Fund and its Chief Executive Officer.
Further resolved, that all lobbying activities by anyone representing the Oregon State Bar or any of its committees, sections or other entities subject to its oversight (including the Professional Liability Fund, its Board and its Chief Executive Officer) comply with the requirements of Keller v. State Bar of California, 496 US 1, 110 S Ct 2228, 110 L Ed 2d 1 (1990) and Board of Governors policies regarding legislation and public policy.
Further resolved, that the Board of Governors report back to the House of Delegates by publication in the February, 2000 issue of the Oregon State Bar Bulletin, with a full presentation at the next House of Delegates meeting, regarding the actions taken in response to this resolution, and specifically what procedures have been put in place to monitor the legislative testimony, including written submissions, of anyone representing the Oregon State Bar, its committees, sections and other entities subject to its oversight including the Professional Liability Fund.
