Legislative History - Research and Writing

I earned degrees in Journalism, Political Science, and Law from the University of Oregon, spent fifteen (15) years as a legislative reporter, and, ten (10) years as an active attorney.

Since the 1980's I have lived within walking distance of the Oregon State Archives, and specialized in researching the Oregon Revised Statutes, as enacted and amended by the Oregon Legislature.

The Archives’ staff simply sends you a copy of every document that mentions the bill number you reference. 

I actually read the papers to ensure that they are the ones you need – the answer often lies in a different place than one would expect – and don’t forward irrelevant records.

The written minutes are only summaries of the complete discussions. As a Notary Public, I can provide certified transcriptions if the answer actually lies on the tapes of committee meetings or floor discussions.

Living in Salem gives me local access to the Supreme Court library, the Oregon State Library, and, the various state agencies, if need be.
