GR 14
                     FORMAT FOR PLEADINGS AND OTHER PAPERS


   (a)  Format Requirements.  All pleadings, motions, and other papers filed with
the court shall be legibly written or printed.  The use of letter-size paper
(8-1/2 by 11 inches) is mandatory.  The writing or printing shall appear on only
one side of the page.  The top margin of the first page shall be a minimum of
three inches, the bottom margin shall be a minimum of one inch and the side
margins shall be a minimum of one inch.  All subsequent pages shall have a
minimum of one inch margins.  Papers filed shall not include any colored pages,
highlighting or other colored markings.  This rule applies to attachments
unless the nature of the attachment makes compliance impractical.

   (b)  Exception for Trial or Hearing Exhibits.  This rule is not mandatory for
trial or hearing exhibits, but the use of trial or hearing exhibits that comply
with this rule is encouraged if it does not impair legibility.

   (c)  Application of Rule.  This rule shall apply to all proceedings in all
courts of the State of Washington unless otherwise specifically indicated by
court rule.

   (d)  Citation Format.  Citations shall conform with the format prescribed by
the Reporter of Decisions.  (See Appendix 1.)
