LCRLJ 54.  JUDGMENTS AND COSTS

     (c) Demand for judgment.

     (1)  Method - Ex Parte Judgments and Orders.  Counsel, legal
     interns and registered legal assistants presenting a
     judgment or seeking entry of an order shall be responsible
     to see that all papers pertaining thereto are filed and that
     the court file is provided to the judge. Counsel may present
     routine ex parte or stipulated matters based on the record
     in the file by mail addressed to the Court Administrator.
     Self-addressed, stamped envelopes shall be provided for
     return of any conformed materials and/or rejected orders.

     (d)   Costs - Attorney Fees.

     (1)  Reasonable attorney fees when allowed by statute or
     contract will be determined on a case by case basis and
     awarded in the sound discretion of the Court upon
     satisfactory justification, which shall include
     documentation of time and charges.  In appropriate cases,
     when a default judgment is entered, where authorized and
     instead of those statutory fees set by RCW 12.20.060,
     reasonable attorney's fees may be allowed on the basis of a
     maximum of 50% of the first $500.00 of the principal amount
     of the judgment, plus 10% of any balance over $500.00,
     without formal justification or documentation.

     (2)  If reasonable attorney fees are requested based on a
     contract provision, the contract provision must be
     conspicuously highlighted or underlined to be readily
     ascertainable.

     (3)  Specific citation of authority must accompany requests
     for reasonable attorney's fees on any basis other than
     contract provision.

     (4)  Statutory attorney's fees may be granted when
     reasonable attorney's fees are not authorized.  (See RCW
     12.20.060).

     (5)  Assigned Claims.  Before costs and attorney's fees will
     be allowed by the Court on assigned claims, proof shall be
     furnished the Court that Notice and Demand for Payment of
     disputed amount has been sent to the defendant by the
     assignee, and he/she has had reasonable opportunity of not
     less than thirty (30) days to pay the disputed amount prior
     to the suit.  Reasonable attorney's fees, when allowed,
     shall not exceed either ten percent (10%) of the disputed
     amount, or the statutory attorney's fee, whichever is
     greater unless there is documentation of time and charges.
     A statutory attorney's fee shall be allowed when the amount
     in dispute is paid any time prior to trial on assigned
     claims.  A reasonable attorney's fee shall not be allowed
     absent satisfactory justification including documentation of
     time and charges.

     (6)  'Offer of Settlement' under RCW chapter 4.84 means a
     written offer served in the manner provided by CRLJ 5 for
     service of pleadings, and in an amount as set by the
     pleadings.  A cross-claim will be treated (between cross-
     claimant and cross-claim defendant) as if it were a separate
     action.

     (7)  An offer of settlement must be served after the time
     the answer or the response to any counter-claim has been
     served and no later than fourteen (14) days before the trial
     date.  The acceptance of any offer of settlement must be
     served no later than five (5) judicial days prior to the
     trial date.  An acceptance must be in  writing and must be
     served in the same manner as is required for an offer of
     settlement.

     (8)  The offer of settlement shall be substantially in the
     following form:

                 Jefferson County District Court
                       State of Washington

     ______________________        )

     _____________________         )
     Defendant                     )

     The party named below, in total settlement of this damage
     action, offers to allow judgment to be entered in this
     lawsuit against the defendant in the sum of $ ________, plus
     court costs.  This offer is made pursuant to RCW 4.84.250
     through RCW 4.84.300.

       If you wish to accept this offer, you must do so, by
     written notice, to the undersigned attorney and file a copy
     of your response with the court named above.  The response
     must be served within ten (10) days, and not later than five
     (5) days before trial.

       If you do not accept this offer within that time period,
     and the offeror subsequently obtains a judgment which is at
     least as favorable to the offeror, the amount of the
     judgment may be increased by an award of additional costs
     and/or reasonable attorney's fees as authorized by RCW
     4.84.250 through RCW 4.84.300, CRLJ 68, and LCRLJ 54.
