Add ORS Chapter 447
The links don't seem to work (e.g., in ORS 455.132)... and it's missing from the Title 36 list.

link code sections to google scholar cases interpreting the statute
Google scholar now has all US District court cases, all 9th cir decisions, and all SCOTUS decisions. It also has most state courts of appeals and supreme court decisions. Since legal research 101 is (a) look up the statute, then (b) look up cases referring to that statute, and you're providing (a), it would be nice to have (b) just one click away. In a sidebar maybe?
Or even zero clicks away- just pre-load the Scholar search via google's API. It probably wouldn't even slow your page load time.
Default options should be "Oregon and Federal Cases, Anytime"

Smarter search feature
Make the search feature take one directly to the statute when one enters what is clearly a statute. For example, if one searches for "ORS 112.735" or even just "112.735," the search feature should just pull up the page for that statute, perhaps with a link to search for documents containing the term. Like when you enter "1 + 1" at Google: it recognizes the search as a math problem and takes you to a page with an answer (since that is what you most likely want), but also gives an option to search for pages containing the term.
Alternatively,…
3 votesNot a bad idea. Thanks. Currently, I solve this problem by making sure that this direct hit is the first in the result list. Implementing your idea might require some complicated UI design work. E.g., the statute page would need space to offer the option to go to further search results.

Make the site compliant with an accessibility standard
It’s extremely important to me that the website is accessible to all people, regardless of any disabilities they may have, or web browsers they might use. In parallel with the other tasks, I am surveying the current accessibility standards (Section 508, WAI, etc.), deciding which are the most appropriate, and implementing them.

Add IRS definitions to the glossary
The IRS's site has some sets of legal tax definitions that look very helpful. And of course, they're applicable to Oregon citizens.

Integrate Google Book Search results into pages
It might be possible to show book search results in the sidebar of statutes and glossary entries. It'd be great if they'd be direct links to actual text of relevant legal sources.
