<DIV><SPAN class=785335522-25102013><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The Washington
County Law Library is pleased to let the library community know that we are
sponsoring a free program for the public entitled <STRONG>"All Rise! Take Your
Case to Small Claims Court."</STRONG> The program will feature Multnomah County
Circuit Court Judge Steve Todd along with Janay Haas, an Oregon attorney
and author of "Using Small Claims Court in Oregon." These two seasoned
speakers will explain how self-represented litigants can use these "Peoples'
Courts" to resolve some legal matters, discussing such things as court rules,
the role of evidence, using mediation instead of court, and more. Significant
time will also be left for audience questions.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
