RULE 17
               REPORTER--APPOINTMENT--DUTIES


    (1) The Justices of the Supreme Court shall appoint a
reporter for the opinions of the court, who shall be
removable at their pleasure. The reporter shall receive such
annual salary as shall be fixed and determined by the Supreme Court.

    (2) The reporter shall provide for publication of the
rules of court as directed by the court.

    (3) The reporter shall be a member of the Washington
Court Reports Commission and shall perform any and all other
duties as may be prescribed by the Supreme Court or by statute.

    (4) The reporter shall provide for publication of
opinions in advance sheets and in permanent volumes of the
Washington Reports and the Washington Appellate Reports.
The opinions shall be published chronologically, unless
otherwise directed by the court.  Publication of opinions
shall include the title of each case, a list of the
precedential holdings in the opinion, a summary of the
nature of the action and prior court proceedings, and the
names of counsel. Each advance sheet shall contain a table
of cases and a subject index. The last advance sheet of a
volume shall contain a cumulative table of cases and subject index.

    Before publishing the permanent volume, the advance
sheet material shall be revised by adding volume and page
numbers for recent citations and dispositions of motions for
reconsideration, petitions for review, and other post filing
dispositions. The reporter shall also make corrections for
typographical errors noted in the advance sheets, revisions
of language directed by modification orders, and changes
otherwise directed by the courts. Opinions withdrawn shall
be deleted, and tables and indexes shall be revised
accordingly. Additional material such as memorials and rolls
of attorneys shall be inserted in the permanent volume as
directed by the courts or in the discretion of the reporter.
