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 Reserved and repealed chapters do not create requirements.

Reserved and repealed-only chapters are retained as such. Amendment and supplemental orders are searched separately because their extracted text may include deleted or superseded provisions.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.

All 36 counties have a mapped SLR rulebook. Supplemental orders remain incomplete. A zero below means no retained order in this collection; it does not mean that the court has no orders. OCR counts are machine-recognized documents, not legal review.

SLR 13.035 — COURT SHALL DETERMINE WHETHER CASE IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION

Union, Wallowa County Supplementary Local Rules (2026) · physical PDF page 23 · 2026

13.035 COURT SHALL DETERMINE WHETHER CASE IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION (1) Once a case is at issue, a hearing will be held to consider whether arbitration is appropriate. At a pre-arbitration hearing, the judge will consider party requests for exception, inequitable circumstances (e.g., one or more parties unrepresented, costs of arbitration), and possibility of settlement. (2) A case assigned to arbitration will not be removed without a motion/declaration and order, except as might occur under paragraph (1) of this rule or upon notice from arbitrator. (3) In the event that amended pleadings are allowed by the arbitrator (e.g., amended complaint, third party complaint, etc.) in which a party or parties will be added to the case, or which causes the case not to be subject to mandatory arbitration, the party filing such an amended pleading must notify the Trial Court Administrator. Unless the parties stipulate otherwise, the court shall then remove the case from arbitration.
