How courts have described this case

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

  • concluding that the objective to be served by the two clauses is the same, even if the analyses adopted by Oregon and federal courts differ
  • holding that state constitutional issues are to be decided before federal constitutional issues
  • recognizing that this court may rely on federal case law in interpreting provision of Oregon law, not because we are bound to do so, but because we find that case law persuasive
  • stating that all questions of state law should be considered and disposed of before reaching federal constitutional claims
  • stating that \a practice of deciding federal claims without attention to possibly decisive state issues can create an untenable position for this state's system of discretionary & weme Court review\
  • noting that the bailiff in Rathbun was “motivated by her intention, not to cause a mistrial, but to assist the state in securing a conviction”
