From 2005 to 2015 this blog presented news items and resources relating to trial advocacy and the legal system, with a focus on Washington State. It was developed to support the Trial Advocacy Program at the University of Washington School of Law, but broadened to include appellate practice, the courts, access to justice, and related topics. It is no longer active.

Summary Judgment in Courts of Limited Jurisdiction
Proposed Changes to CRLJ 56 would affect the timing of summary judgment motions and responses in the courts of limited jurisdiction. So that people without lawyers aren't blindsided and hit by default judgments, a party filing a motion for summary judgment would be required to send a copy of the rule to any unrepresented parties. Comments are due by April 30 (there's one posted so far).
