Changes to Writs of Habeas Corpus

As of February 1, 2000, all applications for Writs of Habeas Corpus involving children for King County Superior Court cases will be heard only by Judge Dale Ramerman. In his absence, Judge George Mattson will hear such cases. Applications may be faxed to either judge at 206-205-2645. This change was made primarily because of the availability of the childcare facility at the Regional Justice Center (RJC), and the fact that the Child Find Unit is located at the RJC. For more information about this change, call Paul L. Sherfey at 206-296-7844.
