The Oregon Court of Appeals, established in 1969, serves as the state's intermediate appellate court, handling most appeals from Oregon's trial courts and administrative agencies. It operates alongside the Oregon Supreme Court, which is the highest court in the state, and both courts are supported by a single records office responsible for processing documents and distributing opinions. The Appellate Court Records Office plays a crucial role in managing the judicial process by calendaring oral arguments, issuing appellate judgments, and maintaining comprehensive records for both the Oregon Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals. This office ensures that the appellate system functions efficiently, providing essential services to litigants and the public. Generated from the website
