Ready, Set, eFile: Navigating the Oregon Judicial Department’s New eFiling Website
The Oregon Judicial Department’s (OJD) eFiling system is changing, and the current website will be retired on December 7, 2026. This presentation will provide filers with information needed to use OJD’s new electronic filing website for submitting documents to the Oregon Circuit Courts and the Oregon Tax Court. Please join L. Sam Dupree and Amy Weber of the OJD on Thursday, October 29, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m., for a practical session that will walk filers through the new eFiling website, including creating an account, navigating the site, preparing electronic envelopes, and submitting documents. The presenters will also highlight common filing issues and practical considerations to help you avoid potential pitfalls. Don’t wait until you face a filing deadline to learn the new system. Join us for an opportunity to get familiar with the new process before the current website goes offline.
Law office staff are welcomed and encouraged to attend as well. They can use the same Zoom link that appears below to register. Also, this webinar will be recorded and posted on our website approximately one week after the completion of the live webinar.
This webinar has been approved for 1 MCLE Practical Skills credit.
Registration deadline is noon, Tuesday, October 27, 2026.

2026 Learning the Ropes
Are you a new bar licensee looking to jumpstart your legal career or a legal professional returning to private practice? Don't miss the must-attend CLE event of the year — the 2026 "Learning the Ropes" seminar from November 17-19 in Portland! This three-day conference, sponsored by the Professional Liability Fund, is designed to give new and returning legal professionals the CLE credits, information, and essential skills they need to thrive.
The event takes place in person November 17-19, 2026, at the Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront Hotel (1401 SW Naito Parkway, Portland, Oregon 97201). We will not be livestreaming it for remote attendance. Your $75 registration fee covers the entire program, two lunches, and e-materials. Past attendees speak of this conference as an incredibly useful resource to begin their legal career.
Here's why you can't miss it:
- Master the essentials: Learn from experienced legal professionals about building a thriving practice, avoiding pitfalls, and developing efficient office systems — practical guidance to support you as you begin your legal career in private practice, government, or in-house settings.
- Earn MCLE credit: This practical-skills CLE seminar will cover diverse legal topics and fulfill all first-year reporting requirements for new law practitioners, including ethics, mental health and substance use, and introductory access to justice. View the full agenda under the program materials tab.
- Network with the best: Meet judges and bar leaders at exclusive luncheons (included in registration fee!). It's a fantastic opportunity to build connections and gain valuable insights.
- Register now: If you have a bar number and password for the OSB website, use those credentials to log in and register on the PLF website. If you do not have a bar number and password for the OSB website, use the PLF nonmember login: username “lawstudent” and password “lawstudent1” (lowercase, no spaces). No need to wait for your OSB number — you can register without it!
For accessibility accommodations, please call 503.639.6911 or toll-free at 800.452.1639, or email access@osbplf.org at least 72 hours before the date of the seminar.
If you have any questions, please contact DeAnna Shields at deannas@osbplf.org. We hope you will join us in November for this highly regarded annual CLE program!
The PLF would like to thank our 2026 Learning the Ropes sponsor!
