Item Open Access Oregon Statutory Construction(University of Oregon School of Law, 2019-06-19) Landau, Jack L.Nearly everything a lawyer, judge, businessperson, or public official does is controlled, or at the very least significantly affected, by a statute. Our legal system, as Judge Guido Calabresi colorfully put it, has become “statutorified.” That being the case, it makes sense to understand the law that governs the interpretation of statutes. The Oregon appellate courts have devoted a great deal of attention over the past twenty-five years to developing and applying a predictable set of rules of interpretation. In fact, Oregon’s development of—and, for the most part, adherence to—a set of interpretive conventions has garnered national attention.Item Open Access Jack Landau: A Tribute(University of Oregon School of Law, 2019-06-19) Schuman, DavidJack Landau was the best appellate court judge in Oregon history, with the sole exception of Hans Linde. His opinions for the Oregon Court of Appeals and the Oregon Supreme Court are lucidly written, flawlessly organized, thoroughly researched, courageously independent, and ideologically unbiased.Item Open Access Eulogy for Landau(University of Oregon School of Law, 2019-06-19) Haselton, RickMy friend Jack and I go back a long way: back to 1983, when, coming off his clerkship with Judge Belloni, he joined our old firm, the original, inimitable, Lindsay Hart Neil & Weigler. We were young associates, and then partners, together until Jack followed Dave Frohnmayer’s siren song to the Oregon Department of Justice.Item Open Access The Landau Look: A Clerk’s-Eye View(University of Oregon School of Law, 2019-06-19) Coon, NoraGenerally, clerks don’t go behind the bench. But there’s one day of the year when the Oregon Supreme Court clerks take their turn—each in their justice’s chair, doing the best judicial impression they can muster for the annual group photo. While clerking for Justice Landau, I had two opportunities to perfect my impression.Item Open Access My Tribute to Jack(University of Oregon School of Law, 2019-06-19) Brewer, DaveWhen I first worked with Jack Landau as a colleague at the Oregon Court of Appeals, I immediately realized that he was one of the smartest people I had ever known. Much more importantly, though, nineteen years later, when our daily work together was done, I knew that I had never seen a better judge.Item Open Access A Life in the Law(University of Oregon School of Law, 2019-06-19) Balmer, Thomas A.Holmes asked himself––and all of us––how one could “live greatly in the law...”? Well, one answer would be the varied career of Jack Landau, who, since he enrolled at Lewis & Clark Law School in 1977, has lived a rich and full “life in the law.” It is altogether fitting and proper that the Oregon Law Review should recognize Jack with this issue, including in it assorted tributes and Jack’s comprehensive article on statutory interpretation.Item Open Access Tribute to Justice Jack L. Landau(University of Oregon School of Law, 2019-06-19) Oregon Law Review Editorial BoardOregon Supreme Court Justice Jack L. Landau, a distinguished jurist and scholar, is described by his colleagues as a “brilliant judge,” a “mensch,” and as someone who lives a “rich and full ‘life in the law.’”
