Okay, So We Had a Little Fun with the Cover
Editorial Party Favors Okay, so we had a little fun with the cover. For a few brief days in late April and early May 2002, Ron Saxton led the polls in the gubernatorial Republican primary. Under the counsel of longtime Oregon political operative Elaine Franklin, Saxton’s campaign imploded in the final days as he moved aggressively left on social issues, abortion and assisted suicide. Now, four years later, Saxton has a new face to his campaign, new political consultants…and a new political bedfellow, Lars Larson. Has he done wrong? Last month, a Sunday Oregonian editorial began the paper’s campaign for an open primary. The idea, an initiative of political outsiders Phil Keisling and Norma Paulus, is aimed at the November ballot. The Oregonian has consistently argued that partisanship is the root of all evils in Oregon politics. The newspaper made the argument that if someone as moderate and intelligent as Ron Saxton is forced to cuddle up to Lars Larson and the right wingers in order to win his party’s nomination, it proves how broken our state’s partisan political system is. Richard Nixon is the American politician credited with the adage that you run to your party’s extreme base in the primary, and then you run back hard to the middle in the general election. This was Saxton’s strategy, as he took a position on illegal immigration to the right of and in conflict with President Bush during a three-way candidate debate with Kevin Mannix and Jason Atkinson. This hot button issue happens to be the passion of conservative talk show host Lars Larson. -

Tribute to David Schuman
HON. MARTHA LEE WALTERS* Tribute to David Schuman I. To Serve the Law, We Must See Not Only Abstract General Legal Rules, but Also the Real People Who Occupy Them ..... 4 II. To Serve the Law, We Must Beware of Two Professional Dangers—Perversion of Power and Coldness of Heart ............ 7 III. To Serve the Law, We Must Forge a Public Life Worth Living ........................................................................................ 9 n a law school commencement address, Judge David Schuman told I the graduates that, as Dante proceeded through Hell and Purgatory to Heaven, he was accompanied by a teacher, Virgil. But Dante had referred to Virgil not as a teacher but as an authority. Judge Schuman explained that, to Dante, an authority was someone whose example enlightened and enabled. David Schuman served that role for me. David was born and grew up in Chicago. As a youth, he was a speed skater; he later became an English professor, and then a lawyer. And, by the time he gave his commencement address, David was both a judge and a law professor. In that address, Judge Schuman proposed three principles: that to serve the law, we must see not only abstract general rules, but also the real people who occupy them; that we must beware of two professional dangers—perversion of power and coldness of heart; and that we must forge a public life worth living. David lived by those principles. We referred to David as the Shoe; we did so because he walked through life in those truths, abiding by those * Martha Lee Walters was elected by her colleagues as Oregon’s 44th Chief Justice and began service on July 1, 2018. -

2008 State of the Oregon Courts
2008 STATE OF THE OREGON COURTS Justice in the 21st Century Lady Justice, Supreme Court Building “In the 21st century, Oregon’s courts lead the nation in providing fair, accessible, and timely justice to promote the rule of law, protect individual rights, and resolve conflicts. We respect, reflect, and respond to the diverse people we serve. We earn public trust, build partnerships, and promote safe, caring and engaged communities.” Justice 2020: A Vision for Oregon’s Courts (2001) Message from the Chief Justice I am pleased to share with you the 2008 Annual Report for the Oregon Judicial Branch. This report reflects the past year of achievements, accomplishments, and activities for the Oregon Judicial Department performed through a vision focused on five long term goals to: • Protect public access to court services • Maintain the public’s trust and confidence • Provide quality and timely ways for people to resolve their disputes • Build strong partnerships with our justice system partners and in our communities • Effectively administer our courts so they work for people In that regard, I want to express my profound thanks and respect to those judges and employees of the Judicial Branch for their daily commitment to justice and their service to every person who enters our courthouses. HIGHLIGHTS OF 2008 Chief Justice Paul J. De Muniz Building a Statewide Electronic Courthouse. We have successfully initiated Oregon’s eCourt project. Oregon eCourt will expand and simplify access to courts, allow electronic document filing and electronic payment of court fees, provide better information to judges and managers for decision- making, make court work processes more efficient, and improve the availability of information that courts share with our justice partners and stakeholders. -
Voters' Pamphlet May 21 2002 Primary Election Republican Candidates
Oregon Secretary of State 2002 Voters’ Pamphlet | May 21, 2002 Primary Election (Republican Candidates) Dear Oregonian As Oregon's Secretary of State, one of my most important goals is to make sure that every Oregonian has the opportunity to register and to vote. Your vote is your voice. Voting gives each individual the power to make decisions about who leads our state and what laws are passed - and I am working hard to provide every Oregonian with the information and inspiration they need to exercise their precious right to vote. The Voters' Pamphlet is the most direct and complete source of information on candidates and issues in our state. I encourage you to use this document as a resource to help you make thoughtful, informed decisions as you vote. Remember: the ballot you cast in May will affect all of our lives and the future of our state. The May 2002 election will be Oregon's second statewide primary conducted entirely by mail. Two years ago, a total of over 900,000 Oregonians cast ballots in the first vote-by-mail Primary. The high turnout during the 2000 Primary reversed a steady twenty-year decline in the number of Oregonians casting Primary Election ballots. In fact, it represented a 16 percent increase over the highest number of votes ever cast in a polling place Primary Election. This year, I challenge Oregon to do even better. The nation is experiencing a disturbing decline in voter participation, particularly among young people. We stand the risk of losing a whole generation of voters. -
