I have discontinued publication of JLS Legal Update indefinitely. I continue to practice in the areas of appellate litigation, family law, and legal ethics. I have a particular interest and expertise in the legal problems faced by infertile couples and by gay and lesbian families. For regular updates on these issues and more, please follow me on Twitter @markjpdx. Thank you for your support and good wishes over the years. Please consider me if you have need for a reference judge in an Oregon family law case.
