It recommends setting up fraud prevention services like positive pay, reverse positive pay, ACH controls, and proxy accounts to match checks written against those presented for payment and filter electronic transactions. These services can help detect non-matching checks and block unauthorized electronic money movement. Using proxy account numbers instead of actual account numbers when receiving payments can also help protect accounts from being compromised. Staying aware of the latest scams is also advised.
The document discusses different methods of communicating with clients and when each is appropriate. It recommends choosing a method that builds the client relationship rather than just being convenient. For routine updates, email or texts are fine, but clients should be notified to expect this. If a client question is unclear or complicated, a phone call is best to clarify quickly rather than an email exchange. Communicating inconveniently should be avoided, as should chronic procrastination, as this damages client relationships over time. The best approach is to discuss communication preferences with clients and use phone or video calls for important, complicated or anxiety-provoking matters.
Scammers will continue to find new ways to scam people despite prevention efforts. The FTC provides resources to help identify and report scams that are commonly carried out through email or phone.

It is important to independently verify any suspicious communications before taking action and to remain vigilant against evolving scams.

The document discusses trends in the legal profession in Oregon. Law school admissions have dropped by 50% or more in the last three years, mirroring national trends. Thirty-five percent of Oregon lawyers plan to retire or leave the profession by 2017. Rural areas have long faced a shortage of lawyers, with most being public defenders or prosecutors. However, the declining numbers of lawyers means opportunities are opening up for new graduates to start solo practices, especially in rural areas or small towns that have been underserved. The future outlook for new lawyers in Oregon is positive.
The document summarizes amendments to the Uniform Trial Court Rules that take effect on August 1, 2016. Key changes include new rules for filing confidential attachments electronically, requirements for certificates of service and proof of electronic service, allowing expedited filings to be notified by email, lengthening times for objections to proposed orders, and changes to filing requirements in domestic relations cases. The amendments aim to update efiling procedures and standards.
1) Filing documents through eCourt carries risks as filings are not automatically accepted and it can take 1-3 days for clerks to process documents. If a statute of limitations expires during this time, filers may need to request relation back.
2) To request relation back for a rejected filing, filers must resubmit the document within 3 days of rejection with a cover letter explaining they are requesting relation back and include specific language. Even if all requirements are met, relation back is at the court's discretion.
3) Filers can also request relation back due to technical difficulties with eCourt, following the same resubmission steps and providing exhibits supporting the technical issues. Proper filing is

1. Are you eCourt Ready?
Posted on 11/24/2014 by beverlym
On December 1, 2014, eCourt will become mandatory for the eleven circuit courts that currently have the Oregon
eCourt system, including the eFiling requirement. Follow these steps to get ready for the mandatory transition:
1. Get a credit or debit card that can be used to pay court fees online. The Odyssey eFile & Serve System
(eCourt) accepts Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. Learn more about eCourt filing fees here.
2. Create an eCourt account by registering with Odyssey eFile & Serve. Don’t wait, do it now. If you need
assistance setting up your account, it may be difficult to reach Technical Support on the December 1 effective
date. Registration is only a few steps. Choose an account type, enter your name, contact information, and e-
mail address, then create a password. Sole practitioners should register as a “Firm Administrator.”
3. Check your e-mail inbox for an activation link from Tylerhost.net – the vendor that operates Odyssey eFile &
Serve for Oregon. Click on the activation link to finish creating your account.
4. Login to Odyssey eFile & Serve with your e-mail address and newly created password, click on the Firm
Administrator tab, and set up a payment account (credit card). [Note: if you are a firm member who created
an individual user account this step was completed by your Firm Administrator.]
5. Check your “tech.” To be an e-filer, lawyers will need a scanner and PDF conversion software with OCR
(Optical Character Recognition) capability. More on this below.
6. Sign up for one of the free, one-hour training sessions on how to use Odyssey eFile & Serve. There are three
classes this week and additional classes scheduled for December. See the complete class listing here.
During the training you can ask questions. If desired, take the training more than once.
7. Watch the Oregon eCourt Update CLE presented on November 19, 2014 – available for Oregon lawyers to
stream or download free of charge on the Professional Liability Fund (PLF) website. This CLE provides an
overview of the rules and includes a question and answer session with Oregon Judicial Department staff.
8. Read Chapter 21 of the Uniform Trial Court Rules – Filing and Service by Electronic Means – and the Chief
Justice Orders adopting out-of-cycle amendments.
9. Get an OJCIN Account (Oregon Judicial Case Information Network). OJCIN is the official website of Register
of Actions and judgment records for the State of Oregon Judicial Department. OJCIN includes OJIN (Oregon
Judicial Information Network), OECI (Oregon eCourt Case Information Network), and ACMS (Appellate Case
Management System). If you want to view case activity and access documents online, you must have an
OJCIN account. ($35.00 per month.)
10. Monitor the Oregon State Bar (OSB) and PLF websites. Using the discussion from the Oregon eCourt
Update CLE, OSB staff are preparing answers to frequently asked eCourt questions that will be posted in the
near future. This information will also be accessible on the PLF website.
Buying a Scanner
Mac users can search for “top rated scanners” at MacWorld. If you have Windows OS, check out the online reviews
at PC Magazine. The Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500 was voted the best scanner of the year in 2013 by MacWorld and
comes bundled with Acrobat XI Standard for Windows. (You can – and should – upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro for a few
more bucks. See below.)
Brother scanners are popular too. A “combo” machine – combination printer/scanner/copier may also be a good
choice depending on your needs. Check the sources listed above for product reviews.
When you’ve chosen a scanner make and model, use sites or apps like PriceGrabber and Google Shopper to find the
best prices. Include shipping costs for the best head-to-head comparison.
2. PDF Conversion Software with OCR Capability
All documents submitted via the eCourt system must be text searchable PDFs. PDF conversion software with OCR
capability (Optical Character Recognition) turns your scanned documents into text searchable PDFs. The free Adobe
Reader software cannot do this.
For PDF conversion software, nothing beats Adobe Acrobat XI in this author’s opinion. (Get the “Pro” version for the
redaction features.) While it may seem that you have no choice but to subscribe to Acrobat on a monthly basis, you
can still purchase the product outright. Call sales at 800-585-0774 for details. My two cents: Buy the subscription.
Adobe is running a 25% off sale through December 3. A subscription to Acrobat XI Pro is $14.99 per month
(normally $19.99). Subscriptions are locked in for one year and include all upgrades free of charge plus free
telephone support. If you purchase Acrobat XI Pro outright, you must buy the upgrades separately. Free telephone
support ends in 30 days, although other support options remain available.
PrimoPDF and Nuance Power PDF Advanced are worth a look too, but don’t have all the bells and whistles of
Acrobat.
Using Your Scanner and PDF Conversion Software with OCR Capability
Use your scanner and PDF/OCR software to:
Create searchable PDFs of your pleading documents for eFiling.
Create searchable PDFs of attachments to pleading documents (e.g., a scanned copy of a Last Will and
Testament attached to a petition for probate – a copy of the Will is eFiled with the petition; the original Will
must be filed conventionally).
Create searchable PDFs of signature pages or signed documents. (Text on the page will be searchable;
signatures will not.)
Note: Lawyers sign eCourt documents using a conformed signature: /s/ Lawyer Name. If you are eFiling a document
containing signatures other than your own, you must scan the signature page or the entire document.
Master the Tech and Make Your Life Easier
If you aren’t already using a version of Word, WordPerfect, or OpenOffice with built-in PDF conversion,
upgrade now.
When you convert to PDF directly from within Word, WordPerfect, or OpenOffice your document is
automatically text searchable. No need to scan.
Always choose File > Print > to create a PDF from your word processing program. Select File > Print, find the
PDF printer in your printer list (Adobe PDF for example), click Print, give your document a name, and save it
in the desired location. When you create a PDF by selecting File > Save As > PDF or File > Publish to PDF,
you are converting all the metadata in your document. Additionally, files that are “published” to PDF are
about 80% larger than documents that are “printed” to PDF.
Digital pleading templates are the way to go. If you are printing the body of your document on numbered
pleading paper, you will need to scan and OCR your documents for eFiling. If you aren’t familiar with digital
pleading templates, check out these options from Microsoft. [Note: conform all templates to meet Oregon
court rules.]
