    SUPREME COURT Media Release COPIES: Contact: Copies of the slip opinions may be obtained from the Appellate Records Section, (503) 986-5555 Stephen P. Armitage The full text of these opinions can be found at www.courts.oregon.gov/publications Staff Attorney (503) 986-7023 Case decided August 6, 2020. Jennifer James, et al. v. State of Oregon, et al., (SC S066933) On petition for review under Oregon Laws 2019, chapter 355, section 65. Petitioners' requests for relief challenging Oregon Laws 2019, chapter 355, sections 1-19 and 39-40, are denied. Today, the Oregon Supreme Court denied claims brought by petitioners challenging two amendments to the Public Employee Retirement System (PERS) enacted by the legislature in SB 1049 (Oregon Laws 2019, chapter 355). The first challenged amendment redirects a member's PERS contributions from the member's individual account program -- the defined-contribution component of the member's retirement plan - - to a newly created employee pension stability account, used to help fund the defined- benefit component of the member's retirement plan. The second challenged amendment imposes a cap on the salary used to calculate a member's benefits. Petitioners primarily argued that the redirection and salary-cap provisions in SB 1049 unconstitutionally impaired their employment contracts in violation of the state Contract Clause, Article I, section 21, of the Oregon Constitution. In the alternative, petitioners argued that the amendments violated the federal Contract Clause, Article I, section 10, clause 1, of the United States Constitution, breached their contracts, and constituted an unconstitutional taking of their property without just compensation in violation of Article I, section 18, of the Oregon Constitution, and the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.

  • Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States
    Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States Composition of the Supreme Court Tuesday, July 20, 2021 Written Statement of Marin K. Levy Professor of Law, Duke University School of Law Co-Chair Bauer, Co-Chair Rodriguez, and distinguished members of the Commission: Thank you for the opportunity to testify on the subject of Supreme Court expansion and composition. By way of background, I am a Professor of Law at the Duke University School of Law and a faculty advisor to the Bolch Judicial Institute. My research and teaching over the past twelve years have focused on judicial administration and appellate courts. It is a distinct honor and privilege to speak with you on these matters. Court expansion and other changes to the Court’s composition implicate fundamental questions about the role and operation of our nation’s highest court. These include whether expanding the Court would harm the institution’s legitimacy, whether expansion would prompt a series of expansions in the future, whether an expanded Court could function well as a single decision-making body, and whether expansion would contradict existing constitutional norms and conventions. Even if the answers to these questions were known, there is a larger background question to be answered—namely how such considerations should be weighted in assessing any proposal to change the Court’s structure. It is no easy task that the Commission has been given, and I hope that the legal community and public at large is cognizant of this. In contrast to the subject of the panel, my own testimony will be fairly circumscribed.

  • Oregon Supreme Court Lays Down the Law on the Product Liability Statute of Limitations by Michael “Sam” Sandmire, Partner, Litigation Group and Sara L
    Oregon Supreme Court Lays Down the Law on the Product Liability Statute of Limitations By Michael “Sam” Sandmire, Partner, Litigation Group and Sara L. Tait, Law Clerk, Litigation Group October 2002 In a little over a year, the Oregon Supreme Court has issued a trilogy of major interpretations of Oregon’s product liability statutes: Gladhart v. Oregon Vineyard Supply Co., 332 Or 226, 26 P3d 817 (2001); Kambury v. Daimlerchrysler Corp., 334 Or 367 (2002); and Griffith v. Blatt, 334 Or 456 (2002). All three of the decisions have focused on statutory construction, and the results demonstrate the reluctance of Oregon’s highest court to insert common law precepts into the product liability statutory scheme. The cases further spotlight the continuing struggle to identify the contours of Oregon’s product liability law, which arguably encompasses far more than the doctrine of strict liability. In Gladhart, the Court interpreted ORS 30.905(2), the “product liability” statute of limitations. 332 Or at 229. ORS 30.905(2) mandates that a product liability action “shall be commenced not later than two years after the date on which the death, injury, or damage complained of occurs.” The Court rejected the application of the “discovery rule” to this statute, noting that “[a] discovery rule cannot be assumed, but must be found in the statute of limitations itself.” Id. at 230. In the absence of explicit language that the statute runs upon “discovery” or “accrual,” the Court concluded that “[t]he words ‘death, injury, or damage’ [as] used in ORS 30.905(2) refer to events, not to abstractions or ideas.
