I have made some changes to our reading schedule for Sessions 19 to 24. The revised schedule is linked below, as is a supplemental Supreme Court case that we will discuss in Session 19. Revised Reading Schedule Arlington Central School District v. Murphy A Recent Case
In Howell v. Willamette Urology, P.C. (Feb. 14, 2008), the Oregon Supreme Court interpreted the Oregon venue statute in the context of a wrongful death action. The injury that allegedly caused the death happened in Marion County, and the decedent died in Multnomah County. The case exemplifies the elegant use of related statutory text to interpret disputed statutory text. A pdf of copy of the opinion is linked below. Howell v. Willamette Urology, P.C.
