Please advise your client what each of the following sections says

1. If scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge will assist the trier of

fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue, a witness
qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education,
may testify thereto in the form of an opinion or otherwise. Where an expert
witness testifies to an opinion based on a new or novel scientific
methodology or principle, the proponent of the opinion has the burden of
showing the methodology or scientific principle on which the opinion is
based is sufficiently established to have gained general acceptance in the
particular field in which it belongs.
2. At any scheduled call of a calendar or at any conference, if all parties do not
appear and proceed or announce their readiness to proceed immediately or
subject to the engagement of counsel, the judge may note the default on the
record and enter an order as follows:
(a) If the plaintiff appears but the defendant does not, the judge may grant
judgment by default or order an inquest;
(b) If the defendant appears but the plaintiff does not, the judge may dismiss
the action and may order a severance of counterclaims or cross-claims;
(c) If no party appears, the judge may make such order as appears just.
3. Judges should inform litigants that they have the right to retain counsel and
the right to be represented by counsel throughout the course of the
proceedings. Judges should also acknowledge that parties have a right to
represent themselves. Judges should confirm that the self-represented litigant
is not an attorney, understands the right to retain counsel, and will proceed
without an attorney. Judges also may wish to discuss with the litigant what it
means to represent oneself in litigation.
4. The court will deny any motion made pursuant to ORCP 21 and 23, except a
motion to dismiss: (a) for failure to state a claim; or, (b) for lack of
jurisdiction, unless the moving party, before filing the motion, makes a good
faith effort to confer with the other party(ies) concerning the issues in
dispute.

5. In criminal cases, the parties must notify the court immediately of any
decision that a case will be dismissed or a change of plea entered. In all
other cases, the parties must immediately notify the court of a decision to
settle, dismiss, or otherwise resolve a case. After receipt of the notice, a
court may require the parties to put the decision on the record, give written
notice to the parties that the case will be dismissed unless an appropriate
judgment is tendered to the court within 28 days, or both.
6. No waiver of trial by jury in civil cases in circuit court shall be deemed to
have occurred unless the parties notify the court of such a waiver before 5:00
p.m. of the last judicial day before trial. Thereafter, a jury trial may not be
waived without the consent of the court. Failure to timely notify the court of
a waiver before the day of trial may result in an assessment by the judge on
one or both of the parties for the per diem fee and mileage costs of bringing
in the jury panel for that trial.
7. In a civil case, except as provided in Rules 4(a)(1)(B), 4(a)(4), and 4(c), the
notice of appeal required by Rule 3 must be filed with the district clerk
within 30 days after entry of the judgment or order appealed from.
8. Unless federal law provides otherwise, an individualother than a minor, an
incompetent person, or a person whose waiver has been filedmay be
served at a place not within any judicial district of the United States: (1) by
any internationally agreed means of service that is reasonably calculated to
give notice, such as those authorized by the Hague Convention on the
Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents; (2) if there is no
internationally agreed means, or if an international agreement allows but
does not specify other means, by a method that is reasonably calculated to
give notice: (A) as prescribed by the foreign countrys law for service in that
country in an action in its courts of general jurisdiction; (B) as the foreign
authority directs in response to a letter rogatory or letter of request; or (C)
unless prohibited by the foreign countrys law, by: (i) delivering a copy of
the summons and of the complaint to the individual personally; or (ii) using
any form of mail that the clerk addresses and sends to the individual and that
requires a signed receipt; or (3) by other means not prohibited by
international agreement, as the court orders.
