The Oregon State Bar requires that all attorneys complete one hour of training every three years designed to provide education on the duties of attorneys to report child abuse.
According to Oregon Revised Statute 419B.010, "Any public or private official having reasonable cause to believe that any child with whom the official comes in contact has suffered abuse, or that any person with whom the official comes in contact has abused a child shall immediately report or cause a report to be made . . ." Those "public or private officials" include attorneys.
This presentation will provide you with an explanation of the requirement of Oregon lawyers to report child abuse, including the relevant statutory provisions, including when they apply, how to report, and much more.
*While this program addresses the Oregon statute, it also deals with the ethical issues involved in reporting child abuse, which may be relevant to any attorney.
