Unlicensed legal service workers threatened by proposed legislation By B.J. Thomsen Of the f mrrjlil A bill recently passed by tho Oregon House of Represen tatives. and now being heard bv the Oregon Senate Judiciary Committee, has raised the hackles of the Consumer Soun ding Board, Inc., an Oregon and Calitornia based-group of con sumer advocates and para legals. The bill. MB 2301. would re quire the Board of Covernors of the Oregon State Bar Associa tion to investigate any alleged incidents of unlicensed law practice. Keith Burns, a Salem lobbyist and lawyer requested the hill. ‘ ‘ I’a ra -1 ega I s work i n - dependency of attorneys to help people perform legal ser vices in non-contested cases.” said Peggy Muse of the CSB. The law would not only outlaw para-legals. she said, but would make it unlawful for anyone to assist in the prepara tion of legal documents. However, "merely assisting someone in typing a document or supplying forms" would not be outlawed by the bill. Reimer said. Legislative issues "Il is pretty dear that people (not licensed to practice law) can I help people decide what forms to use. or determine what laws apply, or what action to take." he said. In short, the hill says people are not allowed to exercise professional judgment il they have not had the proper Light Continued from Page 1 fact;, an area where the elec trons move most freely. The faster the movement of electrons, the greater the speed with which the computer chip can transfer information or pick up communication signals. The research has shown the electrical conductivity of this area can be enhanced through stimulation by white light, or t h t! persistent photo conductivity effect. Martin said. “The photo-conductivitv effect has been known for a long time.” Martin said. While this effect can be beneficial. Martin said, pro blems may also occur it the chip is accidentally exposed to white or infrared light. Shining a flashlight on a chip of this nature could cause a computer to “crash." Martin said. "Metal would act as a shield,” he noted. Through the layering process, scientists “grow" computer chips with several components. v\ ith the primary component of the new chips being gallium arsenide, Martin said. The top layer of the chip is a mixture of aluminum, silicon and gallium arsenide. In a process called “doping," silicon is added to the chip because it functions as a donor, or a substance which increases the conductivity by releasing electrons into the layer of gallium arsenide, Martin said." The second layer is merely a 1 u m i n u m and g a 11 i u in arsenide, and has not been "doped" with silicon as in the previous layer, he said. Between these two layers and the bottom two layers is the in terface, through which the elec trons move as they are con ducted through the chip. The fourth layer is made up of pure gallium arsenide, and the tilth layer is gallium arsenide that has been semi-insulated to prevent excess electricity from being conducted through it ‘‘Typically you don't want the electrons to move from top to bottom.” Martin said. “You want them to move from side to side so they operate more efficiently.” because of the layering pro cess. scientists are able to chan nel electricity through areas where it will have the highest mobility, and thus the greatest speed of conductivity through thr! chip. This speed is then further enhanced when the chip is ex posed to white light These two techniques are of greater use because they enable* devices to turn on and off at a faster rate than before, as well as enabling them to process infor mation faster, Martin said. (1 o m p a n i e s s u i h a s I ekt ron ics , and a more specialized company. Tryquint. are particularly interested in this kind of technology because it would enable them to build higher quality transistor com ponents lor use in everything from radios to satellite telecom munication equipment, Martin said. And companies such as IBM, A . T . & T., Hughes, a n d Rockwell are interested in the research because of the faster rate .it which they could cum in u n i c a t e w i t h s u c h microchips, he said. In the future it may be possi ble to transfer information at It) times the speed we use at this time. Techniques such as molecular beam epitaxy and the persistent photo-conductivity effect will make this possible.
