SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The Oregon Judicial Department has announced that many online services for Oregon’s circuit courts and the Oregon Tax Court will be offline from 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4 to 8 a.m. Monday, Oct. 7, for an essential case management software upgrade.
In addition, Oregon’s Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, Tax Court, and circuit courts will be closed on Tuesday, Oct. 8.
