RULE JuCR 3.4
                 NOTICE AND SUMMONS--SCHEDULING
                     OF FACTFINDING HEARING


     (a) Notice and Summons. After the petition has been filed,
notice and summons shall be issued and served pursuant to RCW
13.34.070 or published pursuant to RCW 13.34.080. The notice
shall state that the petition begins a process which, if the
juvenile is found dependent, may result in permanent termination
of the parent-child relationship.

     (b) Advice To Be Contained in Notice. A notice directed to
the juvenile or the juvenile's parent, custodian, or guardian
shall contain the following advisement:

     Right to Lawyer

     (1) You have the right to talk to a lawyer if you desire
and, if you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you.

     (2) A lawyer can look at the social and legal files in your
case, talk to the caseworker, tell you about the law, help you
understand your rights, and help you at trial.

     (c) Scheduling Factfinding Hearing. The court shall schedule
a factfinding hearing to be held within 75 days of the filing of
the petition alleging dependency, giving preference to those
cases where the juvenile is held in shelter care. The court may,
for good cause shown, continue the hearing to a later time at the
request of a party.

     (d) Indian Children. If the petitioner knows or has reason
to know that the juvenile is an Indian child as defined by the
federal Indian Child Welfare Act, the petitioner shall notify the
child's tribe in the manner required by RCW 13.34.070(10) and 25 U.S.C. 1912.
