                        LCrRLJ 6.15                                              
                    CRIMINAL JURY TRIAL                                          
                                                                                 
    1. Jury Instructions: The court will maintain, in certain types of           
cases, a standard set of jury instructions which will be given by the            
court, unless supplemented or supplanted by jury instructions provided by        
the parties.  When the court does not maintain a standard set of jury            
instructions or either party wishes to supplement or supplant the standard       
set, the party or parties shall provide copies of said jury instructions to      
the court not later than the start of the defendant's case, unless the           
requirement for the instruction(s) was not foreseeable. The parties'             
proposed instructions shall consist of one original set of jury                  
instructions without citation to Washington Pattern Jury Instructions or         
case law and one set with citations. A copy of the set with citations shall      
be served upon opposing counsel at the same time jury instructions are           
filed with the court.
