Oregon was a pioneer of the movement to interpret state constitutions independently of the U.S.
Constitution. Not only does the Oregon Constitution address many of the rights protected by the
federal Constitution, but it also defines many of the powers that the federal Constitution reserved for
the states. Oregon attorneys must be familiar with the Oregon Constitution and the appellate courts’
interpretations of it. This first edition of Oregon Constitutional Law is designed for exactly that purpose.
It covers many of the rights protected by Article I, Oregon’s Bill of Rights, as well as the initiative and
referendum processes, financing of state government, taxation, and home rule. More importantly, it
includes practical advice about how to litigate state constitutional issues. This book is an essential
resource for every Oregon practitioner.
Highlights:
• Interpreting Oregon’s free-speech clause
• Distinguishing true classes from nontrue classes under the privileges and immunities clause
• Using paid signature gatherers for initiatives
• Single-subject and separate-vote rules for constitutional amendments
• Public access to court proceedings
• Free exercise of religion in Oregon
• Local regulation of firearms
