Oregon court rules & publisher orders

Search a rule number or topic in circuit-court local rules and statewide UTCR. County filters select sources; they do not determine the court, venue or applicable law.

36 Oregon counties · 27 local rulebooks · 24 UTCR chapter PDFs

Machine-extracted or machine-OCR source text, not independently validated legal requirements. Later amendments, case orders, exceptions, signatures, service, fees and deadlines require original-source review. Reserved and repealed chapters do not create requirements.

Reserved and repealed-only chapters are retained as such. Amendment and supplemental orders are searched separately because their extracted text may include deleted or superseded provisions. Some scans have machine OCR, visibly labeled and unreviewed. Remaining scans have original-source links only. Verify all text and amendment markings in the PDF.

A-38 2. 3.170—ASSOCIATION OF OUT -OF-STATE COUNSEL (PRO HAC VICE) Amended out of cycle to increase the pro hac vice application fee. ACTION TAKEN Amendment of the rule was preliminarily recommended by consensus at the UTCR Committee’s fall meeting on October 24, 2025. The rule was then amended out of cycle by SCO 25-054, effective January 1, 2026. EXPLANATION This proposal was submitted by Myah Kehoe, President of OSB, on behalf of the OSB Board of Governors. It amends UTCR 3.170(6) to increase the pro hac vice application fee from $500 to $750 dollars, effective January 1, 2026. At the fall 2025 meeting, the proponent provided testimony explaining the need for the fee increase as follows. The pro hac vice application fee has not been increased since July 1, 2014, when it was raised to $500. Increasing the fee to $750 reflects inflationary increases and aligns the fee with the current administrative costs associated with processing pro hac vice applications. According to Consumer Price…
