How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • concluding that ORS 1.002 includes the implied administrative author- ity for the Chief Justice and presiding judges to regulate the security of courthouse facilities
  • reiterating that “a citizen’s decision to submit to the courthouse security procedures rather than leave the courthouse is a valid basis to imply consent only if [the] plaintiffs’ challenge to the * * * security procedures fails” (emphasis in original)
  • conclud- ing that “administrative authority and supervision” as used in ORS 1.002 are “broad in their scope”
  • courthouse security is within a court's statutory administrative authority, noting that \the effective functioning of courts of the state is served by preventing people from entering courthouse facilities with hazardous substances and weapons.\
  • in declaratory judgment action, unlike a criminal case, it is not the government’s burden to demonstrate the lawfulness of administrative search procedures, and thus court would limit its review to specific theories advanced by the plaintiffs in their complaint
