                            JUDGMENTS AND COSTS

     (c)  Demand for Judgment

          (1)  Method - Ex-Parte Judgments and Orders.  Counsel, legal
          interns and paralegals registered with the Spokane County Bar
          Association 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.
          Legal Interns presenting ex-parte or other agreed orders as
          authorized by APR 9(c)(4) shall be sufficiently familiar with the
          matter so as to satisfy the Court on any question reasonably to
          be anticipated.  Counsel may present routine ex-parte or
          stipulated matters based on the record in the file by mail
          addressed to the Civil Clerk.  Self-addressed, stamped envelopes
          shall be provided for return of any conformed materials and/or
          rejected orders.

     (d)  Cost-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 may include documentation of time and charges.

          In appropriate cases, when a Default Judgment is entered,
          reasonable attorney fees may be allowed on the basis of a maximum
          of 50% of the first $500 of the principal amount of the judgment,
          plus 10% of any balance over $500, without formal justification
          or documentation.

          (2)  If reasonable attorneys 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 fees on any basis other than contract
          provision.

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

          (5)  Assigned Claims.  Before costs and attorney 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 or she has
          had reasonable opportunity of not less than thirty (30) days to
          pay the disputed amount prior to the suit.  Reasonable attorney
          fees, when allowed, shall not exceed either ten percent (10%) of
          the disputed amount or the statutory attorney fee, whichever is
          greater unless there is documentation of time and charges.

               (A)  Payment Prior to Trial.  A statutory attorney fee shall
               be allowed when the amount in dispute is paid any time prior
               to trial on assigned claims.  A reasonable attorney fee
               shall not be allowed absent satisfactory justification
               including documentation of time and charges.

          (6)  Offers of Settlement.   Improper communication of an offer
          of settlement shall result in the denial of reasonable attorney
          fees.  [See LCRLJ 5(d)(7) and LCRLJ 68.]
