King County Local Rules

Wherever you practice, you need to be aware of any local rules that might change the rules you learned in Civil Procedure and your bar review. King County Superior Court is a good example. A recently amended rule -- LR 26 -- imposes limits on discovery (for instance, the number of interrogatories a party may file) that are not in the state-wide CR 26. LR 33 (adopted effective Sept. 1, 2005) concerns pattern interrogatories. LGR 31(e) covers the identification of children (by full name, etc.) in court records.

The local rules, effective Sept. 1, 2005, are available on the King County Superior Court Clerk's Office website.
