Wash. Admin. R. Cts. Ltd. Juris. 13
Limited Jurisdiction Courts are required to Record all Proceedings Electronically
(a) Generally. All limited jurisdiction courts shall make an electronic record of all
proceedings and retain the record for at least as long as the record retention schedule dictates.
The judicial officer shall assure that all case participants identify themselves for the record in
keeping with RALJ 5.2(a).
(b) Nonelectronic Record in Emergency. In the event of an equipment failure or other
situation making an electronic recording impossible, the court may order the proceeding to be
recorded by nonelectronic means. The nonelectronic record must be made at the court’s
expense, and in the event of an appeal, any necessary transcription of the nonelectronic record
must be made at the court’s expense.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
