From the supplier: Gresham, OR, has formulated a five-year management plan that applies benchmarking. Benchmarks in local government are used to measure success in achieving predefined outcomes. The city learned at least four lessons in benchmarking as it implemented the plan. One is that benchmarks must align operations to goals, while another is the integration of financial and nonfinancial information in a manner useful to program managers. Benchmarks were also found to focus efforts on core business functions related to customer needs. Finally, benchmarking must offer added value to users, such as help people manage, make decisions, evaluate previous performance and plan for future performance.

Product Description
In 1934, Oregon's newly-elected governor was a conservative anti-New Deal Democrat in a party dominated by President Roosevelt and his reformers. Here was a volitile combination certain to involve Charles Henry Martin in major political controversy. Governor Martin quickly turned his formidable talents to the destruction of labor unions and reformers in Northwest industries. He formed a secret Red Squad within the Oregon State Police bureaucracy, which operated up and down the West Coast. In addition to spying and using disruptive tactics, the Red Squad was linked to the framing and conviction of union activists in California.

Martin earlier had served two terms as a U.S. Representative. Contemporaries, including his political enemy Richard Neuberger, gave Martin considerable credit for the authorization of Bonneville Dam when he lobbied FDR and congressional colleagues. Through Martin fought vigorously for the project, he also waged a struggle against the proponents of "public power," whom Martin believed wanted the dam's output "socialized." Martin concealed the fact that public electrical distribution could harm his regional stock and real estate holdings. After political defeat in 1938, Martin blamed much of his troubles on the National Labor Relations Board, accused FDR of being a Communist and Fascist, and counseled appeasement with Hitler.

The author also explores Martin's equally intriguing military career (1887-1927). A graduate of West Point, Martin was at center stage in a number of remarkable events including chasing elements of Coxey's Army, the Philippines acquisition, entering China's Forbidden City during the Boxer Rebellion, commanding the all-black 92nd Division immediately after World War I, and perpetuating the Army's discriminatory policies of the 1920s. ...

Product Description
Taking a process-oriented approach, Oregon Legal Research explains how to conduct research in Oregon cases, statutes, legislative history, constitutional law, and administrative law. Additional chapters describe the research process, secondary sources and practice guides, and updating research results. Print and online research techniques are integrated throughout the book. An appendix reviews citation to legal sources under Oregon court rules, the ALWD Manual, and the Bluebook.

Oregon Legal Research was designed specifically for teaching legal research to first-year law students. Others who will find it helpful include practitioners, paralegals, librarians, college students, and even laypeople. It is clearly written, making even complex ideas accessible.

Outlines of the research process and short excerpts from Oregon resources make the book easy to use. Web addresses point researchers to the many sources for finding free Oregon legal material online.

Concise explanations of resources needed for researching federal law and the law of other states are provided throughout. Thus, Oregon Legal Research can be used as a stand-alone text or in conjunction with a research text concentrating on federal law.

The primary difference between this edition and the first is the greater integration of online resources. Each chapter now concentrates on the media most likely to be helpful for a particular resource. Thus, updating is presented almost exclusively through online citators, while secondary sources are still covered primarily in print. Recognizing that students are becoming more visual, this edition includes more sample pages and screen shots. Discussion of legal analysis is included as a crucial element in legal research, as in the first edition, but that discussion is still limited because the book's main focus is the process of performing research. ...

THE definitive book for Legal Research in Oregon
Professor Rowe does a brilliant job of simplifying the legal research process--a process that becomes easier and more fluid the more this book is consulted. As a reader of this book, you will have an edge on the competition as you soak up Professor Rowe's invaluable insight and experience that she complied as a law clerk, attorney, and Legal Research professor. It has both the personal touch and keen insight that only years of trial and error could provide; she did it so you don't have to. Complex research processes and tips are simplified in a way only a truly gifted educator could. You can tell that this book was tediously labored over and all potential holes have been covered.The result is a book that not only shows you the proper way to consult a wide array of research problems, but it encourages the kind of thought that distinguishes between the "good" researcher and the "great." If you read and consult this book often you will undoubtedly cut down on common legal research errors and time killers, and thereby become a far more efficient lawyer or law student. If it isn't already, this book will soon be required reading for all first year Legal Research and Writing classes in Oregon.

In addition, the book does a fantastic job of combining the necessary steps for thorough and accurate research for both traditional book research and on the internet (both Westlaw and Lexis). Professor Rowe is candid about the benefits and potential pitfalls of each method, and the result is a more plenary understanding of the research process.Among others topics, Rowe offers insight on often overlooked peripheral matters such as cost concerns and working within the real-life time constraints of your employer. The knowledge you gain from consulting this book for all legal research issues will provide you with the skills you need to be a precise and time-efficient legal researcher.

This book should be on the desks of every law student, paralegal, law clerk, attorney, and judge in the state of Oregon. It may be written for first year law students, but make no mistake about its simplicity: the thoroughness with which Professor Rowe addresses legal research make this an essential handbook for both the clueless first-year law student and the Chief Justice of Oregon. ...
