SWMCrRLJ 4.1 (d)
   CRIMES REQUIRING DEFENDANT’S APPEARANCE AT ARRAIGNMENT


     A lawyer may not enter a written plea or not guilty
plea on behalf of a client if the charging document states
that one or more of the charges involves domestic violence,
harassment, violation of an anti-harassment order,  order of
protection, or no contact order, driving while under the
influence of intoxicants, driving while under the age of 21
after having consumed alcohol or physical control of a
vehicle while under the influence of intoxicants.  For such
charges, the defendant must appear in person for
arraignment; and the Court shall determine the necessity of
imposing conditions of pre-trial release.  Where legislation
mandates the defendant’s appearance on the next judicial day
following arrest, the term “next judicial day” as applied to
the Municipal Court shall mean the next scheduled court day
for the Sedro-Woolley Municipal Court.
