BarBooksTM is an online library of all the legal treatises published by the Oregon State Bar Legal Publications Department together with a few other resources. Thanks to the OSB Board of Governors, and the generous and continuing contributions from the Professional Liability Fund, it is a licensee benefit for all active and active pro bono licensees of the Oregon State Bar.
BarBooksTM launched in 2007 and became a licensee benefit in 2010. Treatises are revised as needed, and the database is continually updated with Oregon legislation through the use of Public Notes, which are indicated with highlighting in the text of the publications. Users are welcome to submit suggested updates at any time to support@osbar.org.
If you have questions when navigating the new BarBooksTM, check out our FAQs. If your question isn’t answered there, email Legal Publications at legalpubs@osbar.org.
In addition to being a licensee benefit, BarBooks is available for a modest subscription fee to county law libraries, inactive licensees, retired licensees, nonlicensees, and support staff of active licensees or Oregon law firms with one or more active bar licensees. Oregon law school students can access BarBooks via an account provided by their law school.
