The schedule of proceedings for legal cases within a specific Washington State jurisdiction provides a publicly accessible record of hearings, trials, and other court activities. This schedule typically includes case numbers, involved parties, hearing times, locations, and presiding judges. For example, it might show a hearing for a motion to dismiss scheduled for 9:00 a.m. in courtroom 2 before Judge Smith.
Access to this information is crucial for transparency and efficiency in the judicial process. It allows involved parties, legal professionals, and the public to track cases, prepare for appearances, and understand the court’s workload. Historically, these schedules were primarily physical documents posted in courthouses. Modern technology has made them increasingly accessible online, offering greater convenience and broader public access. This improved access facilitates better preparation for legal proceedings and promotes a more informed citizenry.
