Bar’s Criminal Law and Constitutional Law sections, and she

career, and she is honored to have had the opportunity to
do so first as an attorney and, now, as a judge. She is deeply
committed to ensuring that the justice system is accessible to
all and faithful to the rule of law. Judge Duncan is conscientious
and hard working. She uses her knowledge, experience,

She carefully considers the issues that come before her and
decides them on their merits. She is dedicated to fulfilling her
responsibilities as a judge in a manner worthy of the trust and
respect of Oregonians.
