LCrRLJ  6.1.1
                     CRIMINAL JURY TRIAL


A. VOIR DIRE, Jury Instructions:    Jury selection shall be by the struck
jury method, unless otherwise ordered by the court.  One original
set of jury instructions without citation to Washington Pattern
Jury Instructions or case law shall be submitted to the court along
with one set with citations no later than the beginning of the
trial.  A copy of the set with citations shall be served upon
opposing counsel at the same time jury instructions are filed with
the court.

B. WITNESS, Present in Court:  All witnesses to be called for a trial
shall be excluded from the courtroom until they are called upon to
testify, unless leave of the court is given for the person to
remain.   A person who has testified as a witness shall not remain
in the courtroom following his or her testimony where there is a
substantial likelihood that the person will be called again to
testify in the same cause.  Pursuant to ER 615, this rule does not
authorize exclusion of (1) a party who is a natural person, or (2)
an officer or employee of a party which is not a natural person
designated as its representative by its attorney.

C. WAIVER of Jury Trial:  A defendant may expressly waive his or her
right to a jury trial at any time prior to a jury being impaneled.
If the waiver occurs after the Confirmation Hearing, the court may
order costs to be imposed.  Once such a waiver has been made, a
defendant has until the pretrial conference to change his or her
mind and request a jury trial.     However, if no pretrial is held
in the case, a defendant has until thirty (30) days before the
trial date to request the withdrawal of  his or her waiver and the
scheduling of a jury trial.  Any motion for  the withdrawal of a
waiver of jury trial made after the appropriate time limit set by
this rule shall be in writing and the court shall have discretion
to grant or deny the motion.

D. CONFIRMATION of Jury Trial:  The Calendar Coordinator will set all
cases where a jury has been requested for a Confirmation Hearing,
prior to the date set for trial.  At that time all parties are
expected to verify readiness to proceed to trial, or to propose an
alternate disposition.  If a case settles after the Confirmation
Hearing, the court may in its discretion order a party to pay any
jury costs incurred as a result.

E. WITNESS, Subpoenas, Costs:  Where prospective witnesses who will be
compelled to appear by subpoena reside outside the boundaries of
Thurston County, leave of the court to issue a subpoena shall be
obtained; request for leave must be obtained from the court no
later than ten (10) days prior to the date set for trial.  If leave
is not obtained or the request for leave is not timely made, then
the party issuing the subpoena shall be responsible for all costs
associated with the appearance of the person subject to the
subpoena unless good cause is shown.

F. WITNESS LIST:  Each party shall provide to the other party a list of
prospective witnesses to be called at trial no later than two (2)
weeks prior to the scheduled date of trial.  The list shall include
the name, address and telephone number of each prospective witness,
excluding the defendant.

G. SUBPOENA, Issuance:  Either party may issue subpoenas to compel
attendance of a witness at trial in the same manner as set forth in
CrRLJ 4.8.
