RULE 7.5
               ISSUANCE OF SUMMONS OR WARRANT

    (a) Generally. When an information is filed, the court may direct the
clerk to command the juvenile and others to appear at a specified time and
place by the issuance of a summons, or the court may direct the clerk to
issue a warrant for the arrest of the juvenile, or the court may direct the
clerk to notify the juvenile and others by other methods approved by local
court rule.
    (b) Summons Preferred; Warrant Used Only Upon Showing of Probable
Cause. If the information charges only the commission of a misdemeanor or a
gross misdemeanor, the court shall direct the clerk to command the presence
of the juvenile by the issuance of a summons or other method approved by
local court rule instead of a warrant, unless the court finds probable
cause to believe that the juvenile would not appear in response to the
command or probable cause to believe that the arrest is necessary to
prevent serious bodily harm to the juvenile or another, or serious loss of
or harm to property, in which case the court may issue a warrant. A warrant
of arrest must be supported by an affidavit or sworn testimony, which shall
be recorded electronically or stenographically, establishing the grounds
for issuing the warrant. The finding of probable cause may be based on
evidence that is hearsay in whole or in part.
    (c) Requirements of a Summons.
    (1) Generally. (Reserved. See RCW 13.40.100.)
    (2) Additional Contents of a Summons Directed to Juvenile. A summons
directed to a juvenile shall contain the following advisement:

                      Right to Lawyer
    1. You have the right to talk to a lawyer, 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 people involved in the offense proceeding, tell you about the law,
help you understand your rights and the possible consequences of being
found to be a juvenile offender, prepare any defense that you may have, and
present to the court possible sentences should you be found guilty.

    (d) Service and Return of Summons.
    (1) Service. A summons may be served as provided in RCW 13.40.100, or
it may be served by mailing the summons, postage prepaid, to the person
named in the summons.
    (2) Return. The person to whom a summons has been delivered shall, on
or before the return date, file a return thereof with the judge before whom
the summons is returnable.
    (e) Failure To Appear in Response to Summons. (Reserved. See RCW
13.40.100.)
    (f) Requirements of a Warrant. The warrant shall be in writing and in
the name of the State of Washington, shall be signed by the clerk with the
title of his or her office, and shall state when issued and the county
where issued. It shall specify the name of the juvenile, or if his or her
name is unknown, any name or description by which the juvenile can be
identified with reasonable certainty. The warrant shall specify the offense
charged and shall command that the juvenile be arrested and brought
forthwith before the court issuing the warrant. The court issuing the
warrant shall set forth on the warrant the conditions for release,
including bail, pursuant to RCW 13.40.040.
    (g) Execution and Return of Warrant.
    (1) Execution. The warrant shall be directed to all peace officers in
the state or to probation counselors authorized to serve process pursuant
to RCW 13.04.040. The warrant shall be executed only by a peace officer or
probation counselor.
    (2) Return. The officer executing a warrant shall make a return thereof
to the court before whom the juvenile is brought pursuant to these rules.
At the request of the prosecuting attorney any unexecuted warrant shall be
returned to the juvenile court and canceled. For reasonable cause, the
court itself may order that the warrant be returned to the court.
    (h) Defective Summons or Warrant.
    (1) Amendment. No juvenile appearing in response to a summons or
arrested under a warrant shall be discharged from custody or dismissed
because of any irregularity in the summons or warrant, but the summons or
warrant may be amended to remedy any such irregularity.
    (2) Issuance of New Summons or Warrant. If, during the preliminary
examination of any juvenile appearing in response to the summons or
arrested under a warrant, it appears that the warrant or summons does not
properly name or describe the juvenile or the offense charged, or that
although not guilty of the offense specified in the summons or warrant,
there is reasonable ground to believe that the juvenile is guilty of some
other offense, the judge shall not discharge or dismiss the juvenile but
may allow a new information to be filed and shall thereupon issue a new
summons or warrant.
