2023 Oregon School Law Conference

Trying to keep pace with the ever-changing legal landscape confronting Oregon public schools? Join us in December in Eugene for the 43rd Annual Oregon School Law Conference!

The gathering is designed for school administrators, but is also relevant for school board members, as well as school attorneys seeking continuing legal education (CLE) credits. Preconference sessions will address subjects ranging from student rights and discipline to the ins and outs of special education.

Keynote speaker – Judge John V. Acosta

Judge John V. Acosta was appointed a magistrate judge for Oregon’s U.S. District Court in March 2008, and took senior status in 2022. He maintains chambers in Eugene. Before his appointment, Acosta was senior deputy general counsel for TriMet, the public transportation authority for metropolitan Portland.  Before that, he practiced law from 1987-2002 with the Stoel Rives law firm in Portland. He received his J.D. from the University of Oregon School of Law in 1982. Since 2006, Judge Acosta has been a member of the Oregon State Bar’s Joint Bench/Bar Commission on Professionalism, and served as its chair in 2010.  He is a recipient of the Oregon State Bar’s Edwin J. Peterson Professionalism Award and the Oregon Hispanic Bar Association’s Paul J. De Muniz Professionalism Award.  In 2013 he was the inaugural recipient of the annual Hon. John V. Acosta Professionalism Award, given by the Oregon State Bar New Lawyers Division to a lawyer or judge in recognition of their commitment to promoting the highest ethical and professional standards among new lawyers.  Judge Acosta speaks and writes frequently about professionalism, legal writing, and maintaining personal well-being while pursuing a demanding career in the law.
