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 Reserved and repealed chapters do not create requirements.

Reserved and repealed-only chapters are retained as such. Amendment and supplemental orders are searched separately because their extracted text may include deleted or superseded provisions.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

Washington County Supplementary Local Rules (2026) · physical PDF page 12–13 · 2026

5.061 EX PARTE MATTERS (1) The court will schedule an ex parte hearing date and time when the filing party notifies it that they are requesting an ex parte appearance. Unless there is an emergency, the party must contact the Case Management Department at least 24 hours before filing to schedule a hearing.
