Two Attorneys Needed for UTCR Committee

The Uniform Trial Court Rules Committee is seeking attorneys to fill two positions that will open at the beginning of 2014.

Applicants should have significant trial experience in criminal defense and in general civil law. These are volunteer positions with appointment made by the chief justice of the Oregon Supreme Court. The UTCR Committee is an advisory group to the chief justice that makes recommendations on the UTCR and supplementary local rules. It meets twice a year — in the spring and fall — in Salem. Members work with judges, attorneys and court staff from across the state on issues that directly affect litigation practice.

To apply, send a resume and cover letter describing your law practice, areas of expertise, qualifications, rulemaking experience and involvement in similar groups to bruce.c.miller@state.or.us or Bruce C. Miller, Office of the State Court Administrator, Supreme Court Building, 1163 State Street, Salem, OR 97301. The application deadline is Nov. 29.

 

OCDLA 2013 Winter Conference, ‘The Evidence Code,’ Dec. 6-7

Fabricant will present strategies, options and tools for debunking state’s evidence.

Experienced practitioners will also discuss the Brady bill, new laws affecting mentally ill clients, hearsay, vouching, opinion and prior bad act evidence, common judicial evidentiary mistakes, new strategies to attack multi-count indictments and ethics.
