W.D. Wash. CrR 23.1

(a) Unless a scheduling order with different deadlines has been adopted, the parties shall abide

by the following deadlines.

(1) Expert Disclosures. See CrR 16(d)(2) for when parties fail to submit a proposed case

scheduling order setting expert disclosure dates.

(2) Proposed Instructions and Verdict Form. See CrR 30.

(3) Exhibit Lists. The government shall file its list of case-in-chief exhibits 14 days in

advance of the trial date. The defense shall file its list of case-in-chief exhibits no later than

ten days in advance of trial. The list of exhibits filed by the defense should not duplicate

any exhibit otherwise listed on the government’s list of exhibits, upon which the defense

can rely.

(4) Witness Lists. In the absence of witness safety concerns, the government must provide

a list of proposed case-in-chief witnesses to the court and the defense no later than 14 days

prior to trial, and the defense must provide its list of proposed case-in-chief witnesses to the

court and the government no later than 10 days prior to trial. Witness lists need not be filed

until directed by the court. Where reasonable and articulable witness safety concerns are

present, the government may redact the names of witnesses for whom such concerns are

presented, while still identifying the number of witnesses, both named and redacted on its

list.

(5) Trial Brief. The government shall serve and file a trial brief discussing matters of

substantive law involved in the trial and important or unusual evidentiary matters at least 14

days prior to the trial date. Motions contained in the trial brief will not be considered by the

Court. The defense shall file and serve a trial brief ten days before trial. If the government

or the defense produces discovery after the date on which a trial brief is to be filed, the

opposing party may file a supplemental trial brief after the deadline provided by this rule

provided that the supplemental trial brief is directed only at this subsequently-produced

information.

(6) Motions in Limine. The parties must meet and confer prior to the filing of a motion in

limine pursuant to CrR 12(b)(7). Unless otherwise ordered by the court, motions in limine

shall be filed at least ten days before trial. Responses to motions in limine shall be filed at

least five days before trial. No reply shall be filed unless requested by the court. If the

government or the defense produces discovery after the date on which motions in limine are

to be filed, the opposing party may file a motion in limine after the deadline set out in this

rule provided that the motion is directed only at this subsequently-produced information.
