TRIAL PREPARATION

Pretrial Conferences:
  Pretrial conferences will be scheduled at the court’s discretion depending on the type and length of the case.  Not every case will have a pre-trial conference setting.

Trial Procedures:  Please read the Trial Procedures for Judge Bradshaw's Court.

Voir Dire Procedures:  Please read the Voir Dire Procedures for Judge Bradshaw's Court.

Voir Dire Questions:  Please read the General Voir Dire Questions for Judge Bradshaw's Court.

Witness Examination:  Please complete and file with your trial submissions the Estimate of Witness Examinations Form for Judge Bradshaw's Court.  Also, counsel/parties should be prepared to provide the courtroom clerk with each witness's full name and address just prior to when the witness testifies during trial.

Jury Instructions:  Plaintiff will submit a full set of proposed instructions.  Defendant will submit a set that supplements or alters the plaintiff’s instructions.  The balance of the instructions will be considered as ‘agreed’ instructions.  Please use the most recent versions of the Washington Pattern Jury Instructions.

Exhibits:  Counsel/parties are to deliver trial exhibits to the Judge’s Mailroom one week prior to the trial date.

  • Counsel/parties will present two sets of exhibits.  The first (original set) will be marked by the clerk and used at trial.  The second (copy) set is a working copy for the judge.
  • Plaintiff/petitioner's trial exhibits shall begin with the number "1" and shall be numbered consecutively up to the last proposed exhibit.
  • Defendant/respondent's trial exhibits will begin with the number which follows plaintiff/petitioner's last proposed trial exhibit.
  • Exhibits presented during trial will be marked and designated by the court clerk.
  • Once the clerk has marked an exhibit, it is officially in his/her custody.

Exhibit List Template

Depositions:  Depositions will be kept by counsel until they are filed during trial.  When they are filed the clerk will open and file stamp them.  Filed depositions will remain in the clerk's custody until trial is completed.

Additional Equipment:  The court has a limited amount of equipment (TV/DVD/VCR, Elmo) available for criminal trials.  Please arrange for an outside vendor to provide any of your equipment needs and arrange with the judicial clerk bailiff when to setup the equipment in the courtroom.  Although Department 1's judicial clerk and courtroom clerk are exceedingly accommodating, do not rely on, or direct, either to work your trial equipment or the courtroom lights.
