    Justice Mary Yu to Visit Jefferson County’s Alternative Juvenile Detention Facility By The Seattle Lesbian - 1 day ago Washington State Supreme Court Justice Mary Yu/Janelle Retka/The Seattle Lesbian Justice Yu to tour alternative juvenile justice facility, teach legal education session Washington Supreme Court Justice Mary Yu will visit Port Townsend on Friday, August 12 to tour Jefferson County’s alternative juvenile detention facility called Proctor House, and to teach a Continuing Legal Education session for the Jefferson County Bar Association. Justice Yu will tour the Proctor House, Jefferson County’s alternative juvenile justice facility, in Port Townsend at 12:30 p.m. The Proctor House is a program designed to provide a safe, comprehensive, innovative alternative to standard detention for Jefferson County youth who are eligible for the less-restrictive setting.

    KAREN JONES INTERIM LEGAL DIRECTOR LA ROND BAKER MARGARET CHEN NANCY TALNER VANESSA TORRES-HERNANDEZ STAFF ATTORNEYS April 23, 2015 VIA U.S. MAIL AND ELECTRONIC MAIL Honorable Chief Justice Barbara Madsen Justices of Washington State Supreme Court P.O. Box 40929 Olympia, WA 98502-0929 AMERICAN CIVIL Re: IRLJ 6.2: Increasing Infraction Penalties LIBERTIES UNION OF WASHINGTON FOUNDATION Dear Justices of the Washington State Supreme Court, 901 5TH AVENUE, SUITE 630 SEATTLE, WA 98164 T/206.624.2184 The American Civil Liberties Union of Washington (ACLU-WA) urges the WWW.ACLU-WA.ORG Washington State Supreme Court to reject the proposal to increase the monetary JEAN ROBINSON penalty schedule for infractions, which is listed in IRLJ 6.2. The ACLU-WA is a BOARD PRESIDENT statewide, non-partisan, non-profit organization with over 20,000 members, dedicated KATHLEEN TAYLOR to the preservation and defense of constitutional and civil liberties. We oppose this EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR change because increasing the infraction penalties means that the cost of providing constitutionally required court service will land on the backs of the very people who are most in need of assistance. In most infraction proceedings, there is no determination of a driver’s ability to pay the fine. While there are procedural rules that govern how courts of limited jurisdiction must handle infractions, hearings are not required. IRLJ 2.4 gives drivers four choices: agree that the infraction occurred and pay the fine; ask for a hearing to contest the whether the infraction occurred; agree that the infraction occurred but request a mitigation hearing so that the driver can explain the circumstances that led to the infraction; or send a letter explaining any mitigating circumstances but also including a promise to pay if the court rejects the mitigation request.

    State Supreme Court: Some closed drug court meetings OK | Local & Regional | Seattle ... Page 1 of 2 KOMO News State Supreme Court: Some closed drug court meetings OK By MARTHA BELLISLE, Associated Press Published: Dec 18, 2014 at 12:39 PM PST (2014-12-18T20:39:33Z) SEATTLE (AP) - The Washington Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that certain drug court hearings can be closed to the public, but two justices dissented arguing that the constitution demands an open courtroom and open proceedings to ensure that the courts are operating fairly. Writing for the majority, Justice Mary Fairhurst said some of the state's adult drug courts hold closed meetings, called staffings, where the judge, lawyers and treatment professionals meet to discuss the case. The closed meetings are followed by hearings in open court. But Adonijah Lacroy Sykes, a drug court participant, challenged those closed meetings, saying they tainted all the procedures that followed. She had been arrested on three drug charges and was allowed to participate in the King County adult drug diversion court. But when Sykes was unable to comply with the court's requirements, the state moved to remove her from the program. Her lawyers tried to rescind the drug court agreements and vacate the orders so that she could fight the charges at a trial court. They argued the closed-door hearings that went on in her case violated the state's constitution. http://www.komonews.com/news/local/State-Supreme-Court-Some-closed-drug-court-me... 12/19/2014 State Supreme Court: Some closed drug court meetings OK | Local & Regional | Seattle ..
