Court Rules Committee to Reconvene in Fall

When it reconvenes this fall, the WSBA Court Rules and Procedures Committee is scheduled to review the Civil Rules (CR and CRLJ). The Committee traditionally also reviews the Mandatory Arbitration Rules (MAR) and Special Proceeding Rules (SPR) at this time.

Bar members are invited to submit suggestions for changes to these rules. Such suggestions should include a brief statement of the reasons the change is believed necessary. It is also helpful, though not required, for suggested changes to be in bill-draft format, showing language to be deleted in strike-through mode and proposed new language underlined.

Per General Rule 9, suggested changes should be sent to:

Honorable Richard P. Guy, Chief Justice
Washington Supreme Court
Temple of Justice
P.O. Box 40929
Olympia, WA 98504-0929

A copy sent to Steve Rosen, the Committee’s staff liaison, at 2101 Fourth Avenue, Suite 400, Seattle, WA 98121-2330, would be appreciated.
