SLR 17-6.025: Payment of Trial Fees and Hearing Fees ................................ ................................

The court shall verify that payment has been made or that fees have been waived or deferred prior to the start of a trial or hearing where a fee is required to be paid under ORS 21.225, 21.685 or 105.130. If the court is unable to verify that payment has been made, a fee receipt, fee waiver or fee deferral must be presented to the courtroom clerk prior to the commencement of the trial or hearing. (Moving party is responsible.) Fees payable at the conclusion of the trial shall be paid by 5:00 P.M. on the day trial concludes unless the fee is waived or deferred. If the trial concludes after the close of business, the fees shall be paid the morning of the first court day thereafter. For purposes of this rule, a jury trial will be considered concluded when the jury returns a verdict. The trial judge may elect to delay the start of the case until the fees are paid. 17th Judicial District, Lincoln County Circuit Court Supplementary Local Rules for 2026 - Page 10
