GR 9 Cover Sheet

Suggested Changes to RAP 9.2 (c) and (f) (2) (B)

(A)             Name of Proponent:  Washington Court of Appeals Rules Committee.

(B)              Spokesperson:  Honorable Kevin M. Korsmo, Chair, Court of Appeals Rules Committee.

(C)             Purpose:  The Washington Court of Appeals Rules Committee proposes two amendments to RAP 9.2.

(1)   The suggested change to RAP 9.2 (c) is a clarification of the term to be used for the additional designation of the record requested by a party under this subsection. No substantive change to the rule is intended.

(2)   The suggested change to RAP 9.2 (f) (2) (B) increases from 200 pages to 250 pages the limit on the maximum number of pages that one volume of the verbatim report of proceedings may contain. Court reporters will be able to include a full day’s proceedings in one volume if the page length is expanded to 250 pages. Having fewer volumes of the record is more convenient, particularly for persons reviewing an electronic version of the verbatim report of proceedings.
