Our fabulous panel—including Justice Kistler, Justice Landau, Judge Sercombe, Supreme Court Staff Attorney Lisa Norris-Lampe, and attorney Cody Hoesly—will discuss what Oregon appellate judges and staff attorneys like (and don’t like) to see when they read an e-brief. With practical demonstrations.

Issue 2.  Dues Increase.

Raising dues would allow the section more predictable funding for its regular member services, including CLEs, The Appellate Almanac, and the annual social event and would provide flexibility to consider undertaking additional projects or activities.
