HEARING REQUESTS
Requests for hearing dates are accepted by e-mail. E-mail the bailiff at Adrian.Madrone@kingcounty.gov. Motions for Summary Judgment and all other civil motions with oral argument are heard on Friday mornings only; civil motions without oral argument may be set for any day which meets service requirements of the rule.
E-mail must include the following information:
- Case name and cause number
- Type of motion/hearing
- Moving party, name of counsel and counsel's phone number
- Proposed dates
TRIAL PREPARATION
- Status conferences, CR 16 conferences, or pre-trial conferences will be scheduled upon request of the parties and approval of the court.
- Pre-trial orders will be sent 6 weeks prior to the trial date. Please refer to the order regarding exhibits, jury instructions, trial briefs, and pre-trial motions.
- Cases will be put on standby status 3 court days prior to the trial date until reassigned to an available judge. The bailiff will contact you with updates or you may check the website at www.metrokc.gov/kcsc/. Click on Civil Calendar.
- Notify the court immediately if a case settles so the trial date may be stricken.
GENERAL INFORMATION
- Only motions with oral argument need to be confirmed prior to the hearing date (preferably two weeks prior).
- Please do not contact the court to check the status of a ruling on a motion until 1 week past the date noted. This provides adequate time for consideration by the judge and processing of the orders.
- All working papers should be mailed or delivered directly to the judges' mailroom. Please do not deliver to the courtroom as it disrupts court proceedings. They may be faxed but only upon prior approval of the court.
- Requests for oral argument on motions without oral argument must be requested in the pleadings. The judge will review the motion on the date noted, and if further argument is necessary, the bailiff will contact the parties to schedule a hearing.
- Stipulated or agreed motions do not need to be noted for hearing. They will be considered within 2 days of receipt.
