GENERAL INFORMATION
PRELIMINARY DOCKET: The Appellate Court Records Section (ACRS) will release the preliminary docket approximately 6 weeks prior to the scheduled argument date. This docket is not final; therefore, the docket may change daily. The preliminary docket does not designate the panel of judges assigned to the specific docket dates. Once the docket has become final, the ACRS will publish the panel designations on this website. Please note any comments to the right of each case regarding the status of argument.
FINAL DOCKET: The ACRS will release the final docket approximately 2 weeks prior to the scheduled argument date. The Court will approve changes to the final docket only under extraordinary circumstances. You should either consult this website or contact the ACRS before argument to confirm that no changes have been made. Please note any comments to the right of each case regarding the status of argument.

NOTIFICATION OF SETTLEMENT OR WAIVER OF ORAL ARGUMENT

SETTLEMENT: If a settlement has been reached between the parties and argument is scheduled, you should contact the Calendar Clerk so that the argument can be cancelled. If settlement does not occur and it is later determined that the case should go forward, the ACRS will rescheduled the case for oral argument on the court's docket in due course.
WAIVER OF ORAL ARGUMENT: If you wish to waive oral argument, you should notify the Calendar Clerk immediately. If both parties agree to waive oral argument the case will be submitted on the record and briefs. See ORAP 6.05 (1). If it is determined that argument should be cancelled and the case submitted, a slot then becomes available on the docket. For this reason, it is helpful to notify the Calendar Clerk immediately so that other cases can be scheduled on the docket.

TIME ALLOTTED FOR ORAL ARGUMENT

The Court hears arguments in two sessions, 9:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. The Court sets no more than 3 hours of argument for the morning and afternoon sessions. All cases, except general civil and probate cases, are allotted 15 minutes per side for argument for a total of 1/2 hour. General civil and probate cases are allotted 1/2 hour per side for a total of 1 hour. See ORAP 6.15 (2)(a).

REQUEST FOR SET-OVER

PRELIMINARY DOCKET: The Court will administratively allow one set-over for good cause.

If compelling reasons emerge that require you to reschedule a case, contact the Calendar Clerk for available dates, confirm with opposing counsel, then inform the Calendar Clerk of the requested date. Requests for set-over are handled on a "first-come, first-served" basis. E-mail or fax the request for set-over to the Calendar Clerk for consideration as soon as an acceptable alternative date and time has been selected.

FINAL DOCKET: THE COURT WILL APPROVE CHANGES ONLY UNDER EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES. A MOTION TO RESCHEDULE ARGUMENT MUST BE FILED IF A PARTY WISHES A RESET. THE MOTION MUST INCLUDE THE REASON FOR THE RESET, THE POSITION OF OPPOSING COUNSEL, AND A CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE ON ALL PARTIES.

Changes to the docket are made daily. You should check this site periodically to see if additional argument times become available. However, if no date is available and you wish to have argument cancelled and rescheduled for the next docket, please contact the Calendar Clerk with this request. You may also wish to include dates for which you or opposing counsel will not be available during the next month.

If a case is rescheduled, the ACRS will send a new notification card or notice advising the parties of the new argument date and time.

APPEARANCE AT ARGUMENT

All attorneys appearing for the morning argument session must check in with the Bailiff by 9:00 a.m. All attorneys appearing for the afternoon argument session must check in by 1:30 p.m. The order of cases on the docket often changes. Therefore, do not assume that your case will not be called at the beginning of the argument session. If you are not present in the courtroom at the time the case is called, the Court may deem your argument waived. If an emergency prevents you from arriving at argument at the beginning of the court session, you should advise the Court as soon as possible by calling the ACRS at 503.986.5555.

Due to the change in Daylight Savings Time, cases viewed in detail from the dates of March 11, 2007 through April 1, 2007 will be off by one hour. Please refer to the main calendar view for correct information.
