              Preface to Lewis County Local Court Rules


     1.  Promulgation.  These rules shall be known as the Local
Rules for the District Court of the State of Washington for Lewis
County. Copies of these rules will be filed with the Office of the
Administrator of the Courts, and the Clerk of the District Court
for Lewis County. Copies of these rules will be distributed to all
law offices in Lewis County and to the county Law Library for
public reference.  To the extent possible, these rules will be
placed on the Internet at the Lewis County District Court webpage.
Copies will be available from the District Court Clerk for Lewis
County.  These rules as originally adopted were effective on
September 1, 1998, and as amended or supplemented are effective on
September 1, 2006, and supersede all prior rules of this court.

     2.  Numbering.  Consistent with GR 7(b) Washington Court
Rules, these rules, to the extent possible, conform in numbering
system and in format to those rules adopted by the Supreme Court of
the State of Washington for courts of limited jurisdiction and
facilitate the use of the same.  The number of each rule is
preceded by the abbreviation "LL", designating the rule as a Lewis
County Local Court Rule and as being supplemental to the
corresponding Washington Court Rule for Courts of Limited Jurisdiction.
