Request

If you have a disability
and you believe you may need an accommodation to fully and equally
participate in a particular court proceeding or activity, you
may request a reasonable accommodation.
To request a reasonable
accommodation, complete the Request for Reasonable Accommodation
Form and return to the Court Manager, Sherry
Cameron. If you need assistance completing the forms listed
below, contact the Court Manager, Sherry Cameron at the Superior
Court Administration Office.
Accommodation requests
are granted to any qualified person with a disability for whom
such accommodation is reasonable and necessary under the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990 ( ADA ), other similar local, state,
and federal laws and Washington State General Rule (GR) 33. A
request will be granted unless:
- it is impossible for the court to provide the requested accommodation
on the date of the proceeding; and the proceeding cannot be
continued without prejudice to a party to the proceeding or;
- it is impractical for the court to provide the requested accommodation
on the date of the proceeding; and the proceeding cannot be
continued without prejudice to a party to the proceeding
You may be required to
provide additional information for [the court ] to properly
evaluate your reasonable accommodation request . Medical
and other health information submitted under form WPF All Cases
01.0300, Sealed Medical and Health Information (Cover Sheet) shall
be sealed automatically. If medical and other health information
is not submitted under form WPF All Cases 01.0300, Sealed Medical
and Health Information (Cover Sheet), the submitter may ask the
court to seal the documents later.
Generally, five day advance
notice is required to review reasonable accommodation requests.
However, a response to an immediate need for accommodation will
be considered to the fullest extent possible.
