  • Have You Heard of ORS 9.460 and SB 818? by Calvin O
    Have you heard of ORS 9.460 and SB 818? By Calvin O. L. Henry, Ph.D., OABA President October 3, 2009 Have you heard of ORS 9.460 and SB 818? If not, why? ORS 9.460 is a state law that describes what an attorney licensed by the State of Oregon shall provide. This state law does not say that an attorney shall provide unbiased and effective representation to all clients. There are many citizens in the State of Oregon who cannot receive unbiased and effective legal representation from some attorneys licensed by the State of Oregon. SB 818 was a bill before the 2009 Oregon Legislative Assembly that would have amended ORS 9.460 to state that an attorney shall “provide unbiased and effective representation for all clients.” There is no state law that requires attorneys licensed by the State of Oregon to be accountable to all their clients by providing unbiased and effective representation when the clients retain these attorneys. In the future, there will be many life events in which attorneys licensed by the State of Oregon will be required; Oregon citizens need to know that these attorneys licensed by the State of Oregon can provide unbiased and effective representation and can be held accountable by state law. Attorneys who can provide unbiased and effective representation and who are accountable by state law are essential to Oregon society where citizens can defend their citizenship rights. Without attorneys licensed by the State of Oregon who can provide unbiased and effective representation, there is no access to justice.

    2of 2 Voters’ Pamphlet Candidates Oregon General Election November 4, 2008 Bill Bradbury Oregon Secretary of State This Voters’ Pamphlet is provided for assistance in casting your vote by mail ballot. OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE ELECTIONS DIVISION BILL BRADBURY JOHN LINDBACK DIRECTOR SECRETARY OF STATE 255 CAPITOL ST NE, SUITE 501 JEAN STRAIGHT SALEM, OREGON 97310 DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE (503) 986-1518 My Fellow Oregonians: Once again, it’s time for Oregon voters to make good on the bargain we make for living in a free country. It’s time to vote. In these pages, you will see the candidates running for office this year. These are the words they’ve chosen to represent themselves to you. Read them carefully and evaluate what they have to say because the decisions made by our elected officials make a difference in our lives. Voting is only one of the duties we share in preserving our blessings of liberty. We serve on juries. We pay our taxes. We serve in the armed forces. We don’t litter. And we vote. Voting is no mere footnote to democracy. It’s what separates us from tyrants, a practice we’ve nurtured and encouraged for more than two centuries and preserve today as a bulwark in keeping our country safe and free. It’s already been an exciting year. In the spring, Oregon saw a huge surge in voter registration and we may well set new records in November for turnout. Registering, remember, is only half the process and doesn’t mean a lot unless you actually vote.
