If you’re an Oregon lawyer, the best legal research tools are only a mouse-click away on the OSB website.  Best of all, they’re free thanks to the revamped BarBooks platform.

From the Member Login link on the OSB home page, select Enter BarBooks, and choose Explore.  In addition to the familiar OSB Legal Publications – 44 books that cover everything from Administering Oregon Estates to Worker’s Compensation – you will also find:

  • Oregon Legislation Highlights (2005 – 2016)
  • UPL Advisory Opinions (2013-2014)

Don’t Forget About Fastcase

All of this is in addition to Fastcase legal research, a good starting point for any research project.

Trust Accounting and Practice Management

While logged into BarBooks, you can also search the Oregon Statutory Time Limitations Handbook from the Professional Liability Fund (PLF).  BUT, the best place to download PLF handbooks is still the PLF website, where you have four to choose from – all available at no cost to Oregon lawyers:

  • US Federal Law – links to cases, statutes, rules, and publications
  • Government – links to Oregon OnLine/Oregon Bluebook, BOLI, DOJ, and more
