LCR 33. Interrogatories

(a) Pattern Interrogatories for Specific Areas of Practice: (Reserved)

Comment: The King County Superior Court will adopt a process for approving Pattern Interrogatories for use in discrete practice areas. The process and the pattern interrogatories will be available from the KCSC website: kingcounty.gov/court/superior-court, as well as through the office of the King County Clerk.

(b) Appropriate Use of Pattern Interrogatories. It is not required nor recommended that all interrogatories contained in a pattern set be used in every case. It shall be the obligation of counsel or a party to determine which interrogatories are appropriate to the facts of the case.

(c) Format. All Pattern Interrogatories should be contained in a separate document. Although minor variations may be made to these interrogatories to fit the circumstances of a particular case, identifying the document as Pattern Interrogatories is a warranty by the attorney or party signing the interrogatories that such interrogatories are identical in substance to the Pattern Interrogatories approved by the court.
