Court of Limited Jurisdiction. After a Notice of Appeal has been filed, and while the case is on appeal, authority to act in a case is limited to RALJ except as expanded by these rules. C. Questions Relating to Indigency. The Court of Limited Jurisdiction shall decide questions relating to indigency concerning the appointment of counsel at public expense. The Superior Court shall decide questions relating to indigency concerning all other expenses the party wants waived or provided at public expense. 1. Motion for Order of Indigency and Appointment of Counsel at Public Expense: a. Criminal cases. A party seeking review partially or wholly at public expense from a decision of a Court of Limited Jurisdiction must move in the lower court for an Order of Indigency and Appointment of Counsel at Public Expense. The motion must be supported by an affidavit setting forth the moving party's total assets; monthly income, expenses, and liabilities of the party; and a statement of the amount, if any, the party can contribute toward the expense of counsel. b. Civil cases. A party seeking review of a civil case partially or wholly at public expense must move in the lower court for an Order of Indigency and Appointment of counsel at Public Expense. The Motion must be supported by an affidavit meeting substantially the same requirements as set forth in subsection (a) above. In addition, the party must also demonstrate in the motion or the supporting affidavit that the party has a constitutional right to review partially or wholly at public expense. 2. Motion for Order of Payment of Costs at Public Expense. A party seeking review partially or wholly at public expense from a decision of a Court of Limited Jurisdiction must move in the Superior Court for an Order of Payment of Costs at Public Expense.

Denial generally. The lower court shall deny the motion if a party has adequate means to pay all the cost of a lawyer for appellant review. The order denying the motion for an Order of Indigency and Appointment of Counsel at Public Expense shall contain findings designating the funds or source of funds available to the party to pay the cost for a lawyer. b. Approval generally (criminal). The lower court shall grant the motion and enter an Order of Indigency and Appointment of Counsel at Public Expense if the party seeking public funds is unable by reason of indigency to pay all or some of the costs of a lawyer for review. c. Approval generally (civil). If in a civil case the party is unable by reason of indigency to pay all or some of the costs of a lawyer for review, and if the party has a constitutional right to review partially or wholly at public expense, the lower court shall enter findings of indigency. d. The Motion, Affidavit and Order Re: Indigency and Appointment of Counsel at Public expense shall be transmitted to the Superior Court by the Lower Court Clerk as a part of the record on review. 4. Action by the Superior Court. The Superior Court shall decide the motion for Order of Payment of Costs at Public Expense, after a hearing if the circumstances warrant. 5. Order of Indigency and Order of Payment of Costs at Public Expense. The Order(s) shall designate the items of expense which are to be paid with public funds and, where appropriate, the items of expense to be paid by a party or the amount which the party must contribute toward the expense of review. The Order shall designate the extent to which public funds are to be used for payment of the expense of the record on review, limited to those parts of the record reasonably necessary to review issues argued in good faith. Verbatim transcripts of Voir Dire and/or opening statements shall not be paid at public expense without specific court approval. Upon approval, the transcript to be paid for at public expense shall contain only those portions necessary to present the issues on appeal. 6. A party and counsel for the party who has been granted an Order pursuant to this rule must promptly bring to the attention of the Superior Court any significant improvement, during review, in the financial condition of the parties. The Superior court will give a party the benefit of an Order granted pursuant to this rule throughout the review unless the Superior Court finds that the party's financial condition has improved to the extent that the party is no longer indigent. 7. Appointment and Withdrawal of Counsel in Trial Court. The lower court shall determine questions relating to the appointment and withdrawal of counsel for an indigent party on review. 8. Conditions for Payment.

[Adopted effective September 1, 2024.] -- 8 of 60 -- Page 9 of 60 j:\lcr\local court rules 2025.doc LOCAL MANDATORY ARBITRATION RULES LMAR 1.1. APPLICATION OF RULES The purpose of mandatory arbitration of civil actions under RCW 7.06 as implemented by the Mandatory Arbitration Rules is to provide a simplified and economical procedure for obtaining the prompt and equitable resolution of disputes involving claims of $100,000 or less. The Mandatory Arbitration Rules as supplemented by these local rules are not designed to address every question which may arise during the arbitration process and the rules give considerable discretion to the arbitrator. The arbitrator should not hesitate to be informal and expeditious, consistent with the purpose of the statute and rules. ____________________________________ LMAR 1.2 MATTERS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION By implementation of these rules the Superior Court of Washington for Clallam County authorizes mandatory arbitration under RCW 7.06.010 and approves such arbitration in civil actions in which no party asserts, on the party's own behalf, a claim in excess of $100,000.00 exclusive of interest, attorney's fees and costs under RCW 7.06.020 as amended. [Amended effective September 1, 2024]. ____________________________________ LMAR 1.3 CLAIM LIMIT The limit for claims subject to mandatory arbitration is $100,000.00, exclusive of interest, attorney fees and costs. A "claim" is defined to be the net value of the claim, after all reductions for comparative negligence or setoffs. [Adopted effective November 8, 1993; Amended Effective February 16, 1994; September 1, 2018, September 1, 2024.] ____________________________________ LMAR 2.1 TRANSFER TO ARBITRATION a) Statement of Arbitrability. In every civil case, the party filing the note for trial setting (Exhibit A) provided by CR 40 (a) (1) and LCR 40(B) (1), or any party prior to the time for trial setting, may upon the form prescribed by the court, complete a statement of arbitrability, which -- 9 of 60 -- Page 10 of 60 j:\lcr\local court rules 2025.doc will be filed In the Superior Court Clerk's office and a duplicate copy delivered to the Court Administrator's office and the opposing party or parties. A party failing to file and serve a statement of arbitrability within the times prescribed shall be deemed to have waived arbitration and may subject the matter to mandatory arbitration thereafter only upon leave of the court for good cause shown. b) Response to Statement of Arbitrability. Any party disagreeing with the statement of arbitrability shall serve and file a response on the form prescribed by the court (Exhibit B). A duplicate copy of the response shall be delivered to the Court Administrator. In the absence of such a response, the statement of arbitrability shall be deemed correct. Any response opposing the statement of arbitrability shall be filed within seven days after the receipt of the statement of arbitrability. A notice of issue shall be filed with any response objecting to the statement of arbitrability, noting the matter for hearing on the issue of arbitrability within 14 days of filing the response. c) Failure to File - Amendments. A person failing to serve and file an original response within the times prescribed may later do so only upon leave of the court. A party may amend a statement of arbitrability or response at any time before assignment of an arbitrator or assignment of a trial date, and thereafter only upon leave of the court for good cause shown. d) By Stipulation. A case in which all parties file a stipulation to arbitrate under MAR 8.1(b) will be placed on the arbitration calendar regardless of the nature of the case or amount in controversy. e) When Transfer to Arbitration Occurs for Purposes of Application of Local Rules. The case is transferred to arbitration upon the filing of a statement of arbitrability indicating that the case is subject to arbitration, and the filing of a motion for appointment of arbitrator, unless an objection to arbitration of the case is received within the time limits found in LMAR 2.1(b). This transfer shall also trigger the restriction on discovery contained in MAR 4.2 and LMAR 4.2. ____________________________________ LMAR 2.2 ASSIGNMENT TO ARBITRATOR a) Generally; Stipulations. When a case is set for arbitration, a list of five proposed arbitrators will be furnished to the parties. A master list of arbitrators will be made available on request. The parties are encouraged to stipulate to an arbitrator. In the absence of a stipulation, the arbitrator will be chosen from among the five proposed arbitrators in the manner defined by this rule. b) Response by Parties. Each party may, within 14 days after a list of proposed arbitrators is furnished to the parties, nominate one or two arbitrators and strike two arbitrators from the list. If both parties respond, an arbitrator nominated by both parties will be appointed. If no arbitrator has been nominated by both parties, a superior court judge or commissioner will randomly appoint an arbitrator from among those not stricken by either party. -- 10 of 60 -- Page 11 of 60 j:\lcr\local court rules 2025.doc c) Response by Only One Party. If only one party responds within 14 days, a superior court judge or commissioner will appoint an arbitrator nominated by that party. d) No Response. If neither party responds within 14 days, a superior court judge or commissioner will appoint one of the five proposed arbitrators. ____________________________________ LMAR 3.2 AUTHORITY OF ARBITRATORS a) An arbitrator has the authority to: 1) Determine the time, place and procedure to present a motion before the arbitrator. 2) Require a party or attorney, advising such party, or both, to pay the reasonable expenses, including attorney fees, caused by the failure of such party or attorney, or both, to obey an order of the arbitrator unless the arbitrator finds that the failure was substantially justified or that other circumstances make an award of expenses unjust. The arbitrator shall make a special award for such expenses and shall file such award with the clerk of the superior court, with proof of service on each party. The aggrieved party shall have 10 days thereafter to appeal the award of such expense in accordance with the procedure described in RCW 2.24.050. If, within 10 days after the award is filed no party appeals, a judgment shall be entered in a manner described generally under MAR 6.3. 3) Award attorney fees, as authorized by these rules, by a contract or by law. 4) Decide the location for the arbitration hearing. b) Arbitrators shall have immunity to the same extent as provided for superior court judges in Washington State. ____________________________________ LMAR 4.2 DISCOVERY a) Additional Discovery. In determining when additional discovery beyond that directly authorized by MAR 4.2 is reasonably necessary, the arbitrator shall balance the benefits of discovery against the burdens and expenses. The arbitrator shall consider the nature and complexity of the case, the amount in controversy, values at stake, the discovery that has already occurred, the burdens on the party from whom discovery is sought, and the possibility of unfair surprise which may result if discovery is restricted. Authorized discovery shall be conducted in accordance with the civil rules, except those motions concerning discovery shall be determined by the arbitrator. -- 11 of 60 -- Page 12 of 60 j:\lcr\local court rules 2025.doc b) Notwithstanding the Foregoing. The following interrogatories may be submitted to any party: 1) State the amount of general damages being claimed; 2) State each item of special damages being claimed and the amount thereof; 3) List the name, address, and phone number of each person having knowledge of any facts regarding liability; 4) List the name, address, and phone number of each person having knowledge of any facts regarding the damages claimed; 5) List the name, address, and phone number of each expert witness you intend to call at the arbitration. For each such expert, state the subject matter on which the expert is expected to testify; state the substance of the facts and opinions to which the expert is expected to testify, and a summary of the grounds for each opinion. Only these interrogatories, with the exact language as set out above, are permitted. [Amended effective September 1, 2024.] ____________________________________ LMAR 5.2 PREHEARING STATEMENT OF PROOF – DOCUMENT FILED WITH COURT In addition to the requirements of MAR 5.2, each party shall also furnish the arbitrator with copies of pleadings and other documents contained in the court file which that party deems relevant.

All exhibits offered during the hearing shall be returned to the offering parties. b) Attorney Fees. Any motion for actual attorney fees, whether pursuant to contract, statute, or recognized ground in equity, must be presented to the arbitrator, as follows: 1) Any motion for an award of attorney fees must be submitted to the arbitrator and served on opposing counsel within seven calendar days of receipt of the award. There shall be no extension of this time - unless the moving party makes a request for an -- 12 of 60 -- Page 13 of 60 j:\lcr\local court rules 2025.doc extension before the seven-day period has expired, in writing, served on both the arbitrator and opposing counsel; 2) Any response to the motion for fees, must be submitted to the arbitrator and served on opposing counsel within seven calendar days after receipt of the motion; 3) The arbitrator shall render a decision on the motion, in writing, within 14 days after the motion is made; 4) If the arbitrator awards fees, the arbitrator shall file an amended award. If fees are denied, the decision shall be filed and served on the parties; 5) It is within the arbitrator's discretion to hold a hearing on the issue of fees; 6) The time for appeal of the arbitrator's decision in any case where attorney fees have been timely requested, as set forth above, shall not run until the service and filing of the amended award, or the denial thereof. [Amended effective September 1, 2024.] ____________________________________ LMAR 6.2 FILING OF AWARD A request by an arbitrator for an extension of the time for the filing of an award under MAR 6.2 may be presented to a Superior Court judge or commissioner, ex parte. The arbitrator shall give the parties notice of an extension granted. ____________________________________ LMAR 7.1 REQUEST FOR TRIAL DE NOVO – CALENDAR a) A written request for a trial de novo shall be accompanied by a note of issue noting the matter for trial setting. Failure to submit the note of issue is not grounds for dismissal; however, the court may impose terms in its discretion. b) In any case in which a party makes a motion for attorney fees pursuant to LMAR 6.1 c, the 20-day period for appeal shall not commence until the arbitrator has either filed and served the amended award, or the written denial thereof. c) The appealing party may file and serve on the other party or parties a jury demand at the same time as the request for a trial de novo and note of issue are filed. The non-appealing party shall have until the time the case is set for trial to file a jury demand. If no jury demand is timely filed, it is waived. -- 13 of 60 -- Page 14 of 60 j:\lcr\local court rules 2025.doc d) When a case is transferred to the arbitration calendar it will lose its trial date. [Amended effective September 1, 2024]. ____________________________________ LMAR 8.3 EFFECTIVE DATE These rules, as amended, become effective on the 1st day of January 1994, subject to amendment thereafter. With respect to civil cases pending on that date, if the case has not at that time received a trial date, or if the trial date has been set for later than the 1st day of April 1994, any party may serve and file a statement of arbitrability indicating that the case is subject to mandatory arbitration. If, within 14 days, no party files a response indicating that the case is not subject to arbitration, the case will be transferred to the arbitration calendar. A case set for trial earlier than the 1st day of April 1994, will be transferred to arbitration only by stipulation of all parties.
