Free speech is a fundamental right protected by the Constitution, but it can be threatened by legal tactics designed to silence people.

Whether it’s journalists or survivors of abuse, Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs) are increasingly used to suppress both speech and access to the justice system. To counter this, most states have Anti-SLAPP statutes, which provide legal tools to dismiss these lawsuits early in the process. For attorneys handling defamation claims or defending individuals targeted by SLAPP lawsuits, mastering Anti-SLAPP motions is essential.

In our newest CLE course, Ashley L. Vaughn, partner at Dumas & Vaughn, provides attorneys with a guide to Anti-SLAPP litigation, including:
✔ How SLAPP lawsuits are used to suppress legal action.
✔ The legal framework of Anti-SLAPP motions in Oregon.
✔ Case studies and legal strategies to strengthen your approach.
This CLE is critical for attorneys in multiple practice areas—including civil litigation, media law, and victim advocacy work.
This course is currently accredited in Oregon. Remember: CLEcast courses are fully on-demand, allowing attorneys to earn credits on their schedule—anytime, anywhere.
