The Oregon Supreme Court and Oregon Court of Appeals have approved a package of permanent amendments to the Oregon Rules of Appellate Procedure (ORAP).  The amendments, which were prepared by the ORAP Committee, will become effective January 1, 2019.

In addition, the Oregon Supreme Court and Oregon Court of Appeals have approved a separate package of temporary amendments to the ORAPs.  The temporary amendments, which are largely intended to address recent statutory amendments, will also become effective January 1, 2019.  Unlike the permanent amendments, the temporary amendments will expire on December 31, 2020 (unless adopted as permanent amendments through the ORAP Committee process).

Both packages of amendments are available online at:

A clean version of all the ORAPs that includes both the permanent and temporary amendments will be posted in December.
