PREFACE


     1. Promulgation.    These rules shall be known as the
     Local Rules for the District Court of the state of
     Washington for Grant County.  Copies of these rules
     will be filed with District Court for Grant County and
     will be distributed to all law offices in Grant County.
     Additional copies will be available at the office of
     the Grant County District Court Administrator.  These
     rules will be effective September 1, 2004.

     2. Numbering.  Consistent with CRLJ 83(a) and CrRLJ
     1.7, Washington Court rules, these rules, to the extent
     possible, conform in numbering system and in format to
     those rules and facilitate the use of both.  The number
     of each rule is preceded by the abbreviation “L”
     designating the rule as local to this court and
     supplemental to the corresponding Washington Court Rule.

     3. Revisions and Additions.   These rules have been
     prepared in loose-leaf form to facilitate revision,
     additions or deletions in the future by page without
     the necessity of republication.
