Reference: Oregon Law Library and Oregon Judicial Department Publications

The State of Oregon Law Library traces its history to the Territorial Act of 1848, which established the Oregon Territorial Government and provided for a library "to be kept at the seat of government for the use of the governor, legislative assembly, judges of the Supreme Court, secretary, marshal, and attorneys of said territory, and such other persons...as shall be prescribed by law." 
Our collection can be accessed via the Hatfield Library Consortium WebPac (HLC). Click on the Library Catalog link in the left column on this page. You can search individual catalogs: State of Oregon Law Library, Oregon State Library, Willamette University Libraries (J. W. Long Law Library and Mark O. Hatfield Library). You can also search the entire collection for the HLC Consortium. A help page and instructions for using the Innovative Interfaces system are provided on the library catalog page. Typically, keyword searching provides a good starting point for users new to the Innovative Interfaces software.

  • Criminal Benchbook 2005 Edition

The Oregon Judges Criminal Benchbook, 2005 edition has been removed because the information is extremely outdated (last update was in 2006). Due to the severe budget cuts that the Oregon Judicial Department has faced over the last several years there have not been resources available to conduct the extensive research necessary to keep this updated with current case law and legislative changes.
