In the citation 92 P.3d 841 (Or. 2003), what does the abbreviation 'Or.' indicate?

• A. Oregon
• B. Ontario
• C. Official Reporter
• D. Original jurisdiction

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that the parenthetical at the end of a case citation shows the jurisdiction and year of the decision. Here, the abbreviation in parentheses is Or., which is the standard legal shorthand for Oregon. It indicates the case was decided in Oregon, with the year 2003. The rest of the citation (92 P.3d 841) tells you the case is in volume 92 of the Pacific Reporter third series, starting at page 841. So the abbreviation does not mean Ontario, Official Reporter, or Original jurisdiction—it signals Oregon.
