2024 Ethical Obligations When YOur Former Client Seeks PCRMarch 14, 2025
Presented by Jason Weber, Portland
Unfortunately, representing clients charged with serious sex offenses means that it is only a matter of time before a post-conviction claim is brought against you. That is because these cases often result in long sentences and the longer the sentence the more likely a post-conviction petition will be filed. This presentation will help prepare you for that process. Jason will try to answer many common questions that arise like: Can I turn over my client’s entire file to the Oregon Department of Justice (DOJ) when a client files a post-conviction claim against me? Has my client waived privilege in whole or in part by filing a petition? Should I speak with my client’s post-conviction counsel about what happened? Should I sign a declaration prepared for me by DOJ? Does DOJ represent my interests?
