In response to the long-term decline in the number of trials in civil cases, Multnomah County Circuit Court now offers an expedited track for jury trials. Presiding Judge Jean Kerr Maurer has announced a new initiative for "summary jury trials." If parties choose to participate, they will conduct limited discovery and will be able to go to trial within four months. See more details here.
