Judges of the Oregon Court of Appeals

TheOregon Court of Appeals, established by statute in 1969, is the intermediateappellate court inOregon. The court hears all civil and criminal appeals from thecircuit courts and also has jurisdiction to review some state administrative agency actions. The court does not have jurisdiction to hear death penalty cases, which is reserved for theOregon Supreme Court, or tax court appeals, which is reserved for theOregon Tax Court.[1] The 13 judges of the court are selected by voters in statewidenonpartisan elections to six-year terms. The administrative head of the court is thechief judge who is appointed by thechief justice of theOregon Supreme Court.[2]

Due to its heavy caseload, the Oregon Court of Appeals hears cases divided into four three-judge panels. At the beginning of each month, the chief judge of the court assigns cases to each panel. The chief judge is not a member of a panel, but instead, may serve as a substitute for a judge who has a conflict of interest in the case or is not available to hear it.[1]

Appeals court decisions are subject to a petition by an aggrieved party for review by theOregon Supreme Court. The petition must be made within 35 days of the decision, and theOregon Supreme Court determines by vote of the justices whether to review the case.[2]

Rule 1 - Scope and Application of this Code; Definitions; Fundamental Principles

Rule 2 - Maintaining the Integrity of the Judicial System

Rule 3 - Impartial and Diligent Performance of Judicial Duties

Removal of judges

Judges inOregon may be removed in one of two ways:

Oregon Commission on Judicial Fitness and Disability

The Oregon Commission on Judicial Fitness and Disability reviews charges or complaints against judges whose actions are in alleged violation ofArticle VIII of the Oregon Constitution or theOregon Code of Judicial Conduct. If the commission files formal charges against the judge, a public hearing is held, after which the commission submits its findings and recommendations of disciplinary action to theOregon Supreme Court. TheOregon Supreme Court is the only court in the state that may discipline judges via suspension, censure, or removal of the offending judge.[8]
