PREFACE
This Disciplinary Board Reporter (DB Reporter) contains final decisions
of the Oregon Disciplinary Board, stipulations for discipline between accused
lawyers and the OSB, summaries of 2005 decisions of the Oregon Supreme
Court involving the discipline of lawyers, orders of reciprocal discipline
imposed by the court, and related matters. Cases in this DB Reporter should be
cited as 19 DB Rptr ___ (2005).
In 2005, a decision of the Disciplinary Board was final if neither the Bar
nor the accused sought review of the decision by the Oregon Supreme Court.
See Title 10 of the Bar Rules of Procedure (page 53 of the OSB 2006
Membership Directory) and ORS 9.536.
The decisions printed in this DB Reporter have been reformatted and
corrected for typographical errors, but no substantive changes have been made
to them. Because of space restrictions, most exhibits are not included but may
be obtained by calling the Oregon State Bar. Those interested in a verbatim
copy of an opinion should contact Barbara Buehler at extension 370, (503) 620-
0222 or (800) 452-8260 (toll-free in Oregon). Final decisions of the
Disciplinary Board issued on or after January 1, 2006, are also available at the
Oregon State Bar Web site, . Please note that the statutes,
disciplinary rules, and rules of procedure cited in the opinions are those in
existence when the opinions were issued. Care should be taken to locate the
current language of a statute or rule sought to be relied on concerning a new
matter.
General questions concerning the Bar’s disciplinary process may be
directed to me at extension 319.
