I’m writing this shortly after
attending my favorite CCBA
event of the year - our annual
dinner with the Court of Appeals
and Supreme Court judges and
justices. This year, we were
especially honored to have a
judge or justice at almost every table. Judges in
attendance included: Honorable Darleen Ortega,
Honorable David Schuman, Honorable Deanne
Darling, Honorable Douglas Van Dyk, Honorable Jack
Landau, Honorable Jeff Jones, Honorable Katherine
Weber, Honorable Kathie Steele, Honorable Lynn
Nakamoto, Honorable Rebecca Duncan, Honorable
Rex Armstrong, Honorable Rick Haselton, Honorable
Rives Kistler, Honorable Robert "Skip" Durham,
Honorable Robert Herndon, Honorable Robert
Wollheim, Honorable Ronald Thom, Honorable Susie
Norby, Honorable Timothy Sercombe, Honorable
William Riggs and Honorable Dave Brewer. We are
very thankful to all of the judges who attended this
unique event and allowed all of our members this
special opportunity to socialize and break bread in a
manner they might not otherwise be provided.
Another event unique to the CCBA coming up soon is
our annual all-day Autumn CLE. This year’s CLE
will be held at the Willamette Falls Health Education
Center in Oregon City on Thursday, November 15th.
Session titles include: “A Case of Herpes”, “New
Toys for Lawyers”, “Sure, It’s Legal”, “Wrongful
Birth” and “Opening the Closet Door.” Please sign up
as soon as possible (see inserted flyer), if you haven’t
already done so. The CCBA will also be hosting a
Happy Hour from 4:30 p.m.— 6:30 p.m. immediately
following the last CLE seminar of the day.
Also inserted in this issue of the newsletter are
Registration Forms for 2013 CCBA Membership
and the 2012 Holiday Dinner and Dance. This
year’s Holiday Dinner and Dance is being held on
Thursday, December 13th at the Oswego Lake
Country Club. We are very excited to announce a
new element to this year’s Holiday Dinner and
Dance by reviving an old tradition of philanthropy
with our First Annual Silent Auction. All proceeds
will benefit the Clackamas Service Center
(www.cscoregon.org). If you are interested in
donating a basket to be auctioned at the event, please
contact any Board member. So far, basket themes
include wine, golf, food, ducks, beavers and sleeping
near the Deschutes River.
Some members have asked how The Oral History
Project is coming along. Mr. Michael O’Rourke,
Oral Historian, has completed four of the six
interviews we commissioned him to conduct this
year. His interview with Judge Herndon is also
underway. You can check out a copy of the interviews in dvd format at the Law Library. The following interviews are available: Hibbard, Holman,
Jacobs, McDonald, Bowerman, Sams, Darling,
Brockley, Bagley, Ed Latourette, Liberty, Morgan,

News and Notes
LARRY PETERSON JOINS GLAZER & ASSOCIATES, P.C.
Well-respected Lake Oswego trial lawyer Larry Peterson is joining the law
firm of Glazer & Associates, P.C., a Lake Oswego civil litigation firm
since 1982. He will be of Counsel.
Peterson, 58, has practiced in the Lakeside Plaza building overlooking
Lakewood Bay since 1984. His practice emphasizes personal injury,
divorce, and civil litigation.
Peterson has had a very interesting legal career including 28 years of
service in the U.S. Army and Army Reserve. He was an officer for
Operation Just Cause, a JAG officer in Haiti, and a commander in Bosnia
and Kosovo during his military service. Peterson retired as a Lieutenant
Colonel in 2007 while serving as Assistant Staff Judge Advocate for
Special Operations Command.
“I was always impressed that Larry could keep his private law practice in
Lake Oswego going successfully while he was serving our country for
months at a time overseas,” said Peter Glazer. “That’s a form of
multi-tasking and Larry’s a star at being able to do more than one thing at a
time and do them well.”
In August, Peterson made front page headlines with his $2.5 million
federal court verdict in a high profile wrongful death case on behalf of a
family in Tigard.
(503) 786-3800
Glazer & Associates, P.C., is perhaps Lake Oswego’s oldest law firm,
dating back to 1982. The firm represents clients primarily in personal
injury and insurance cases and in divorce cases.

New Foreclosure Assistance Available!
by Cory Streisenger
Following the Court of Appeals’ recent decision in
Niday v. GMAC Mortgage LLC, No. A147430 (July
18, 2012), foreclosures in Oregon are switching from
primarily non-judicial to primarily judicial, and this
means lawyers may be hearing from more and more
homeowners needing foreclosure help.
In some cases, legal advice won’t be the only type of
help the homeowner needs. The best solution for the
homeowner may be to seek a mortgage modification
or similar workout, or to pursue a short sale or deed in
lieu of foreclosure. The State of Oregon and NEDCO
(Neighborhood Economic Development Corporation)
are partnering to provide a new set of services for
Clackamas County homeowners at risk of foreclosure,
and Clackamas County lawyers are welcome to use
these services and refer clients to them as well.
NEDCO, a non-profit HUD-certified housing counseling agency offering foreclosure intervention workshops and one-on-one counseling, has just opened a
new office in Clackamas County to help homeowners
at risk of foreclosure. Foreclosure intervention counseling is free and confidential, and helps homeowners
make decisions about whether they can, or should,
stay in their home, as well as connecting them to relevant programs and services. Homeowners can connect
to a local foreclosure prevention counselor by calling
NEDCO’s new Clackamas County office at 503-6558974, by email at
Clackamas.counseling@nedcocdc.org, or by visiting
OregonHomeownerSupport.gov and using the “Find A
Counselor” feature on the main page. OregonHomeownerSupport.gov is a new statewide website which
links homeowners to trained and certified foreclosure
intervention counselors and serves as a “one-stop
shop” for resources, services and information on foreclosure prevention in Oregon.
Foreclosure counseling is very effective: it has been
shown in national studies to help homeowners receive
modifications from loan servicers, lower mortgage
payments for those receiving a modification, and help
homeowners remain current on their mortgages. And
for Clackamas County residents, more help is now
available close to home. We’re located at 421 High
Street in Oregon City (the former Legal Aid office
space) – stop by and say hello!

October, 1861 - The Oregon State Fair did not begin
in Salem. It’s true! The State Fair’s modest beginnings trace back to Oregon City on the banks of the
Clackamas River in 1861. Oregon had not even
achieved Statehood when, in 1858, the Oregon farmers began agitating in favor of a State Fair. Two
groups, the Oregon State Agricultural Society and the
Oregon Fruit Growers Association, eventually merged
and took on the task of creating the Oregon State Fair.
November 1, 1888 – The wooden suspension bridge
connecting Oregon City to West Linn opened and carried the power cables that lit downtown Portland at
night for the first time (in June 1889). The bridge was
replaced in 1922 by a more modern, steel and granite
highway bridge, designed and built under the supervision of Conde McCullough, famous bridge designer
for the Oregon Department of Transportation.

Selections from the Appellate Courts
by Ginger Fitch
Best quote: “Exposure to a parent's unconventional but
not unlawful lifestyle, receipt of lavish gifts from a
parent's friends or relatives, and an unspecified
amount of unsupervised access to the Internet do not
justify state intervention into a parent's fundamental
right to the care, control, and custody of her children.”
DHS v. DM, (A149499) (March 14, 2012).
Coming Soon
Issues recently taken under review by the Oregon
Supreme Court include the statute of limitations under
the Oregon Tort Claims Act (a case that could be
resolved by statutory interpretation before the court
reaches the state and federal constitutional issues); the
admissibility under OEC 801(4)(b) (a party's own
statement) in a dependency hearing of a non-testifying
child's out-of-court statements; the application of
Article I, section 20 (privileges and immunities) and
Article I, section 12 (double jeopardy) in criminal
cases involving prosecutor decisions; state
constitutional challenges to the statutory limitation on
recovery of noneconomic damages; whether the
court's ongoing dissatisfaction with expert's testifying
about a diagnosis of sexual abuse is properly applied
to testimony about a diagnosis of physical abuse
which identifies a specific perpetrator and whether the
state is required to provide the defendant with some
notice, in the indictment or otherwise, of facts
necessary to find that defendant is a dangerous
offender, before a sentencing court may impose a
dangerous offender sentence.
If you are not aware of the Chief's court reengineering
efforts, more changes are coming. See http://

Civil Law
In Paul v. Providence
Health System-Oregon,
(S059131) ( February 24, 2012), the trial court ordered
dismissal based on a failure to state a claim. The court
held that the risk of future injury, rather than actual
present harm, was not a basis for recovering actual
financial loss in a negligence and Unlawful Trade
Practices Act case.
Criminal Law
Lafler v. Cooper, (slip op 10-209) (March 21, 2012)
held it is ineffective assistance of counsel to not
inform a client of a plea offer.
Howes v. Fields, (slip op 10-680) (February 22, 2012)
warns attorneys and defendants that “our decisions do
not clearly establish that a prisoner is always in
custody for purposes of Miranda whenever a prisoner
is isolated from the general prison population and
questioned about conduct outside the prison.” Could
be persuasive, although not binding under Oregon
constitutional analysis.
US v. Jones, (slip op 10-1259) (January 22, 2012) held
that GPS is a search for Fourth Amendment purposes.
The decision was unanimous but the reasons for the
conclusion were disparate.
In State v. Cabiniila, (S059289) (March 1, 2012), the
court appears to open the door for non-English
speaking defendants to preserve federal and state
constitutional challenges involving informed consent
in ORS 813.140 (DUII) cases but a trial court's

decisive role in any appeal.

Last year, Oregon attorneys from over ten areas
outside of Clackamas checked out materials from
our Law Library. It’s that time of year again. CLE
Season is upon us. We began seeing an increase in
circulation earlier than usual, this year. In case you
aren’t aware, attorneys can check out from the Law
Library CLE program handbooks with dvd’s or cd’s
to help fulfill reporting requirements. Up to three
course materials can be checked out for up to ten
business days. We have a Master Index of all the
CLE’s we have available for credit. Attorneys can
be placed on our waiting if a particular title is already checked out. We will also hold a title for an
attorney for up to twenty-four hours. Several of the
most popular CLE’s are reserved for three-day
check-out (i.e. Access to Justice, Ethics, Child
Abuse) to ensure everyone has access to the credits
they need.
