The Theme for 2014 is “Expect. Employ.

In 1988, Congress Raised: Beaverton, OR expanded the week to a month and changed the name to “National Disability Employment Awareness Month.” Upon its establishment in 2001, ODEP assumed responsibility for NDEAM and has worked to expand its reach and scope ever since. Ideas for Employers and Employees Activities conducted by individual employers and their employees are an important part of National Disability Awareness Month (NDEAM).

Flynn to Court of Appeals (Salem, OR) — Governor Kitzhaber today announced the appointment of Meagan A. Flynn to fill the upcoming vacancy on the Court of Appeals created by the retirement of the Honorable Robert Wollheim. Judge Wollheim’s last day on the Court of Appeals will be October 31, 2014. The Governor thanked Judge Wollheim for his many years of distinguished service, both in and out of the courtroom, to the people of Oregon. “Meagan Flynn is a seasoned and well-respected appellate advocate who is committed to the rule of law,” said Governor Kitzhaber. “As she joins one of the busiest appellate courts in the nation, I am confident she will not lose sight of the enormous impact each decision has on all Oregonians.” Ms. Flynn received a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and political science from Willamette University and a law degree from Gonzaga University College of Law. She began her career as a law clerk at the Oregon Court of Appeals for the Honorable Robert Durham and later for the Honorable Rick Haselton. Since 1994, she has been in private practice advocating on behalf of her clients in all areas of tort law as well as in employment and insurance coverage disputes. Early in her career, Ms. Flynn negotiated, mediated, and litigated a large volume of personal injury and employment disputes for individuals with limited financial resources. More recently, she has specialized in appellate advocacy before Oregon’s appellate courts and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

    Our System of Government Oregon’s state government is part of the system known as a “federal government” (also referred to as “federalism”). Federal governments divide power and jurisdiction between a strong national (central) government, state governments, and local county and city governments. The U.S. Constitution declares that the national government (known as the “federal” government) holds certain powers and that remaining powers are reserved for the states or the people (see chart below).

  • OREGON JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT September 24, 2020 Open Letter In
    OREGON JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT September 24, 2020 Open Letter In Memoriam, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, After 27 years on the U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a brilliant jurist and beloved role model, has died. This devastating news was deeply felt by current and former judges across America, including by us, women who have served the state of Oregon as judges. From her inspiration over these many decades, each of us has drawn courage and strength to overcome challenges in pursuing a legal career and to answer the call to the bench. Justice Ginsburg was a remarkable leader and steadfast advocate for women’s rights – and equal rights for all – and in her measured but zealous and persistent manner she paved the way for all of us who followed. She demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the rule of law, engaged in tireless efforts to achieve justice, and she exhibited grace and civility in all these endeavors. These traits enabled her to see the humanity in all and work amicably with others despite differing views of applicable law. Her written and spoken words were approachable in a way that made the law accessible to all. Justice Ginsburg’s integrity and openness contributed to public confidence in the justice system, and she was very generous with her time as a speaker. It is difficult to accept her death. But on behalf of 99 current and former women judges of the Oregon Supreme Court, Oregon Court of Appeals, circuit court from counties around the state, and the U.S. District Court of Oregon, we will go forward by striving to live up to the legacy Justice Ginsburg has left to guide us.
