OR Psych Juris · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.

The Oregon Psychology Jurisprudence Examination is the law-and-rules component of psychology licensure in Oregon, administered in connection with the Board of Psychology (OBOP), whose stated mission is "Promoting, preserving, and protecting the public health and welfare of Oregonians by ensuring the ethical and legal practice of psychology." It is intended for applicants pursuing an Oregon psychologist license - the Board's Applicants section lists "Jurisprudence Examination" alongside Apply for a License, Residency Exams, Limited Permits, and Licensure Predeterminations - and for licensees or supervisors who need to refresh their command of Oregon requirements. Content follows the Board's single published domain: Oregon laws and administrative rules governing the practice of psychology, i.e., the Psychology Practice Act as carried in Oregon Revised Statutes and the Board's administrative rules, plus the ethical standards the Board enforces. Preparation should be source-first: read the Board's Laws & Rules page and the statutes and rules themselves, not third-party summaries; note where the rules impose concrete obligations (recordkeeping, supervision, fee and disclosure practices, complaint response) because those are the details most easily confused. Because the Board states that neither it nor its staff or counsel may give legal advice or advisory opinions, including interpretations of law or rules, do not expect the Board to resolve study questions for you; consult a private attorney or professional organization instead. Topics on this exam: Oregon laws and administrative rules governing the practice of psychology. The OR Psych Juris study guide has 1 section and about 400 words.

Oregon Laws and Administrative Rules Governing the Practice of Psychology

Oregon psychology practice is governed by ORS chapter 675 and OAR chapter 858, administered by the Oregon Board of Psychologist Examiners (BPE). The board licenses two titles: psychologist (doctoral-level) and psychologist associate (master's-level, supervised). Using either title, or providing psychological services for compensation, without a license violates ORS 675.010–675.490. Candidates must complete a doctoral degree in psychology from an accredited program or equivalent, complete supervised professional experience as specified in OAR 858, pass the EPPP, pass the Oregon laws-and-rules (jurisprudence) examination, and clear a background check.
