Temporary ORAP Amendments Effective Today!
Effective January 28,
2013, the appellate courts will implement a number of temporary ORAP amendments. These result
from process changes flowing from the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals
Electronic Content Management System -- the final component of Oregon eCourt
implementation in the appellate courts -- and from the corresponding increased use
of electronic documents in the appellate courts. As part of Oregon eCourt
implementation, the Appellate Court Records Section (ACRS) no longer creates
paper files for appellate cases; instead, ACRS maintains a more efficient
electronic case file.
The temporary ORAP amendments may be found here, and a summary of the changes in Chief Justice Order 13-001/Chief Judge Order 13-02 is provided below:
