SCLCrRLJ 6.1.1
                       TRIAL BY JURY.


     (a) Jury Trial

          (1)  Readiness Hearings.  All cases set for jury
trial shall be assigned both a readiness hearing date and a
trial date. The defendant, and the defendant’s attorney if
the defendant is represented, shall appear at the readiness
hearing.  The court will inquire as to whether the case is
expected to go to trial, the number of witnesses to be
called by each side and the anticipated length of trial; and
if all motions, discovery and plea negotiations have been
concluded.  Any case confirmed for jury trial at the
readiness hearing shall remain set on the jury trial date.
Failure to appear at the readiness hearing, as required
herein, shall constitute a waiver of the defendant’s speedy
trial rights, and may result in a bench warrant for the
defendant’s arrest and forfeiture of any bail or bond.

          (2) Confirmation Required.  On the last court day
preceding the jury trial date the defendant, if appearing
pro se, or the defendant’s attorney if represented by
counsel, and the prosecutor shall contact the confirmation
clerk at the respective division of the Snohomish County
District Court, at the telephone numbers listed below,
between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM, and confirm that the case is
going to proceed to jury trial or that some other
disposition has been reached.

     Confirmation Clerk’s telephone numbers for each
division are as follows:

     Cascade Division:   (360) 435-7747
     Everett Division:   (425) 388-3926
     Evergreen Division: (360) 805-6787
     South Division:     (425) 744-6808

     Failure of a party to confirm the jury trial or to
advise the confirmation clerk that another disposition has
been reached may cause the case to be stricken from the jury
trial calendar.  Failure of the defendant, if appearing pro
se, or the defendant’s attorney if represented by counsel,
to confirm the jury trial or to advise the confirmation
clerk that another disposition has been reached shall
constitute a waiver of the defendant’s speedy trial rights.
Failure of the defendant to appear on the jury trial date
may result in a bench warrant for the defendant’s arrest and
forfeiture of any bail or bond, unless it is confirmed by
both parties that a disposition is to be proposed to the
court.

     Any case confirmed for jury under this subsection and
not proceeding to jury trial shall be subject to such
sanctions, including but not limited to jury costs, witness
fees and terms, as deemed appropriate by the trial judge.
