The Office of the State Court Administrator (OSCA) is responsible for overseeing Oregon's statewide court system, supporting local courts, and promoting efficiency and improvement. With almost 200 judges and over 1600 staff members, the Oregon Judicial Department operates as a unified court system.

The Appellate Court Services Division (ACSD) within OSCA manages case documents for the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals, as well as the State of Oregon Law Library (SOLL). ACSD handles various processes such as filing, calendaring, and archiving, while SOLL serves as a legal research center for Oregon's appellate and trial courts, executive agencies, and citizens. Additionally, the Business and Fiscal Services Division (BFSD) oversees the financial aspects of the state court system, including budgeting, financial reporting, and payment processing.
