Ethics in 18 Holes
Friday, June 6, 9:15 a.m.-4 p.m.
3 ethics credits
The Resort at the Mountain, Welches
Get some fresh air and a fresh perspective on legal ethics with this unique outdoor CLE format. Your "classroom" is the great outdoors, in the natural beauty of the Thistle and the Foxglove courses at the Resort at the Mountain. Eighteen ethics scenarios and a set of multiple-choice answers are your course materials. Discuss each scenario and possible answers as you play or ride to each hole. After you finish, head to the "10th Hole" for a panel discussion of the scenarios and answers. Conclude the day with an announcement of the winners of KP, the longest drive, the shortest drive and other categories, including the popular "most lost balls." Non-golfers are welcome and may participate by riding the course and discussing the questions at each hole. Participation is limited to 64 attorneys. Make sure you or your team signs up now to guarantee a spot. No video replay.
Summer Series: Traffic School
Wednesday, June 11, 9 a.m.-noon
3 general CLE credits
Oregon State Bar Center, Tigard
The most frequent contact the public has with the legal system is the least understood by attorneys. What should your client do (and avoid) when those police lights are flashing in the mirror? Our expert faculty specializes in traffic court cases and will show you how you can help your client — whether you are appearing in court or advising how to proceed pro se. Explore traffic tickets, common defenses, mitigating factors and the use of photo radar. Learn about procedures for suspension and the revocation of licenses. A traffic officer will share his perspective, as well as helpful "dos and don’ts." No video replay.

Oregon State Bar Center, Tigard
This seminar is designed to reboot your cerebral cortex. "Gray matter" matters, and nationally known memory training consultant Paul Mellor will provide you with the tools you need to effectively improve your memory and help your practice. An improved memory helps save time during client preparation, since you can recall information more quickly and remember important facts and figures. Your appearance at meetings and at court will be more polished — everyone else will be looking at their notes. A better memory means better listening skills and greater concentration, with fewer missed opportunities to ask the right questions. You spent years becoming a lawyer and invested months and hours preparing for clients and cases. Don’t you owe it to yourself to spend one day strengthening your mind? No video replay.
