Petition For Judicial Review Miscellaneous Agency

PETITION FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW (MISCELLANEOUS AGENCY). This form is used to provide detailed instructions and necessary documentation for individuals who wish to file a petition for judicial review of a final decision issued by a state agency in Oregon—excluding those issued by the Land Use Board of Appeals. The process is overseen by the Oregon Court of Appeals and is governed by Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) and the Oregon Rules of Appellate Procedure (ORAP). It is intended to help petitioners, including self-represented individuals, understand the complex legal requirements involved in initiating a judicial review. The form explains that filing a petition is a technical legal process that must follow strict procedural rules and deadlines. It emphasizes that corporations must be represented by attorneys and strongly encourages all parties to seek legal representation. It outlines where to file the petition (the Appellate Court Administrator in Salem), when to file (typically within 30 days of the date the agency mailed its final order), and how to file (including required attachments, a $391 filing fee, and certificates of filing and service). The form further outlines the next steps after filing, including preparation and settlement of the administrative record, the submission of written legal briefs, and the court's decision-making process. It explains how to structure and file briefs, what to include in the arguments (called "assignments of error"), and how to serve all involved parties properly. It also describes what happens if a petitioner disagrees with the outcome and wants to request reconsideration or seek further review from the Oregon Supreme Court. Instructions for completing each section of the petition—including identifying the agency, attaching the decision, listing all parties and attorneys, and designating the agency record—are also provided. Lastly, the form includes guidance for completing the certificates of filing and service, both of which are required to verify proper submission and notification to all parties. www.FormsWorkflow.com
