Suggested Amendment
RULE OF APPELLATE PROCEDURE
(RAP 18.13)

Accelerated Review of Juvenile Dependency Disposition Orders and Orders Terminating Parental Rights

Submitted by the Board of Governors of the Washington State Bar Association

Purpose: This amendment removes references to appeals from juvenile dependency disposition orders and orders terminating parental rights, making the rule apply strictly to appeals from manifest injustice dispositions. This proposal is prompted by suggested new RAP 18.13A, which would deal exclusively with review of juvenile dependency disposition orders and orders terminating parental rights. Please refer to the purpose statement for suggested new RAP 18.13A.
