Available Slip Opinions for 2016

Supreme Court Opinions

PLEASE NOTE: All opinions on this site are slip opinions. A slip opinion is not necessarily the court's final written decision. Slip opinions can be changed by subsequent court orders. Additionally, nonsubstantive edits (for style, grammar, citation, format, punctuation, etc.) are made before the opinions that have precedential value are published in the official reports of court decisions: the Washington Reports 2d and the Washington Appellate Reports. An opinion in the official reports replaces the slip opinion as the official opinion of the court.

For this reason, some of the slip opinions on this website are no longer the court's official opinion. Each slip opinion that is no longer official is preceded with a cover sheet that explains its status and each is listed on this website with a red asterisk (*). For any slip opinion that is no longer official, you can find the current opinion in the official reports. Also, an electronic version (intended to mirror the language found in the official reports) of the official opinion can be found, free of charge, on the Washington State Judicial Opinions Website. For more information about the free website, see the Overview of the Free-Access Website for Washington State Appellate Court Opinions.

For more information about precedential (published) opinions, nonprecedential (unpublished) opinions, slip opinions, and the official reports, see Background Information about Washington State's Appellate Court Opinions.
