Snohomish County Superior Court Announces Electronic Trial Confirmation

In Snohomish County, it is the duty of each attorney of record or party pro se of a civil case set for trial to confirm the trial date no sooner than noon of the first court day of the week and no later than noon of the last court day of the week that is two weeks prior to the trial date. Pursuant to SCLCR 40 (d) (1), civil trials may now be confirmed electronically.

Electronic trial confirmation may be accomplished from the Snohomish County Superior Court website at http://www.co.snohomish.wa.us/supcourt/index.htm. A confirming party must complete each block on the electronic form, including an e-mail address, and submit it to the court. The date and time of submission will automatically be indicated on each electronic trial confirmation received. The confirming party will receive an electronic response from the court acknowledging the trial confirmation. Hard-copy trial confirmation forms and other local court forms may also be downloaded from the court website in Adobe (pdf) format.

The Snohomish County Superior Court website contains a variety of information on the court, judges and commissioners, jury service, local court rules, calendar rotations, and links to Washington state courts and pattern forms as well as other court websites. If you have questions or comments about the electronic trial confirmation process in Snohomish County, please contact Judge Thomas Wynne at 425-388-3418 or e-mail thomas.wynne@co.snohomish.wa.us.
