Posted on by

Please join the Appellate Practice Section for the following free CLE:

The Historic Grants Pass Decision: How We Got
Here and What It Means for the Future
Thursday, October 17, 2024
3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
1.5 general CLE credits (pending)
In-person at the Pioneer Courthouse
700 SW 6th Avenue, Portland

The Pioneer Courthouse Historical Society is thrilled to invite you to its annual fall CLE, this year about the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson. In that case, the Court examined whether and to what extent the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment precludes Grants Pass from regulating camping and overnight parking on public property, issues that particularly impact those experiencing homelessness.

We will welcome four panelists: the two litigants who argued the case before the Supreme Court, as well as two Oregonians with policy experience on the issues. We will hear from Theane Evangelis, a Partner at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, who served as counsel for the City of Grants Pass; Ed Johnson, Director of Litigation at the Oregon Law Center, who served as counsel for the plaintiffs in the case; Marc Jolin, Lead Senior Consultant at Focus Strategies, who is the former head of the Multnomah County and City of Portland’s Joint Office of Homeless Services; and David Bonn, a Lieutenant with the Hillsboro Police Department, who recently served as a Community Outreach Sargeant working on camping ordinances.

The program will include two moderators: the Honorable Diarmuid F. O’Scannlain and Danny Newman. Judge O’Scannlain has served as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit since 1986. Danny is a Partner at Tonkon Torp LLP and the President of the Historical Society.

Please arrive by 3:15 to allow additional time to clear security and find a seat in the courtroom. The program will be followed by a reception with light refreshments. The CLE is sponsored by the Oregon State Bar’s Appellate Practice Section, Tonkon Torp LLP, and Perkins Coie LLP.

Cost: Free (registration required)
