Thank you for oregonlaws.org. I was researching civil commitment laws and looking for other places besides OAR for reference and comparing my notes to, and your website was just what I was looking for.
Where the hell have you been? We have to catch up! Congrats on finishing your degree! Find me on Facebook or email me and we can get a drink. I would love to hear what you are up to.

Hi, I am studying to be a paralegal and I have to do a lot of research as you well know. My question is how can I use oregonlaws.org as a relevant secondary source? I guess what I am asking is Oregonlaws.org considered a valid secondary source? Thanks G
Have you done CA laws? Where can I get at that? Great site, thanks.
Thank you for the wonderful resource. My name is Jeannene Kott and I would like to petition the courts to become personal representative of my parent’s estate. My sister is currently being investigated for elder abuse and fraud. She claims there is no will. I would like to submit the petition myself without an attorney. Do you know if this can be done? If so, is there a form? Do you know where I can find this information? It looks like you have it covered but for the form? I appreciate your democratizing the law and love your work at Oregonlaws.org
