by Sheila Blackford ©2014 Here in Oregon, attorneys and their staff have access to a plethora of practice aids and forms on the Professional Liability Fund website. Free! A few moments ago I saw an email from my colleague Beverly Michaelis, who takes care of ensuring we have up-to-date resources, letting us know we now have five updated adoption practice aids, thanks to Oregon adoptions attorney, Robin Pope. Thanks Robin & Bev! Do you do adoptions? Wondering what practice aids and forms are available? These checklists are valuable loss prevention tools to help you remember all the necessary details.
