Washington State Court Rules

The Washington Rules of Court found on the Washington State Court's Internet site are current as of September 2012. Local Court rules, maintained online by the Washington State Courts, were updated in September 2012.

NOTE: Some of the local courts maintain their court rules on their own website. While links are provided to these local sites, the Washington State Courts website does not have the responsibility for updating these local court sites and therefore, does not know if these sites are kept current. Questions about rule accuracy or whether the rules are current should be directed to the local court. Contact information for the local courts can be found in the Court Directory.

The Washington Reports Official Advance Sheets should be examined to determine if any later adoptions, amendments, or rescissions have been made to the rules of court. For local court rules, contact the local court.
