RULE JuCR 9.2
                 ADDITIONAL RIGHT TO REPRESENTATION BY LAWYER


    (a) Retained Lawyer. Any party may be represented by a retained lawyer in
any proceedings before the juvenile court.

    (b) Child in Need of Services Proceedings.  The court shall appoint a
lawyer for indigent parents of a juvenile in a child in need of services proceeding.

    (c) Dependency and Termination Proceedings. The court shall provide a
lawyer at public expense in a dependency or termination proceeding as follows:

       (1) Upon request of a party or on the court's own initiative, the court
shall appoint a lawyer for a juvenile who has no guardian ad litem and who is
financially unable to obtain a lawyer without causing substantial hardship to
himself or herself or the juvenile's family. The ability to pay part of the
cost of a lawyer shall not preclude assignment. A juvenile shall not be
deprived of a lawyer because a parent, guardian, or custodian refuses to pay
for a lawyer for the juvenile. If the court has appointed a guardian ad litem
for the juvenile, the court may, but need not, appoint a lawyer for the juvenile.

       (2) Upon request of the parent or parents, the court shall appoint a
lawyer for a parent who is unable to obtain a lawyer without causing
substantial hardship to himself or herself or the juvenile's family. The
ability to pay part of the cost of a lawyer shall not preclude assignment.

    (d) Juvenile Offense Proceedings. The court shall provide a lawyer at
public expense in a juvenile offense proceeding when required by RCW 13.40.080(10),
RCW 13.40.140(2) or rule 6.2.

       (1) Before appointing a lawyer for an indigent person or at the first
appearance of the lawyer in the case, the court shall require the lawyer to
certify to the court that he or she complies with the applicable Standards for
Indigent Defense Services to be approved by the Supreme Court.
