Judge's Copies
Main Campus
Effective May 1, 2023 Thurston County Superior Court will require judge’s copies for all civil motions and other civil hearings per LCR 5.
Parties shall provide the required “judge’s copy” at the same time the materials/documentation is filed with the Clerk’s Office and served on the other parties. Judge’s copies with multiple attachments and exhibits that cannot be secured with a staple must be tabbed and in a binder.
WHERE TO DELIVER:
Hard copies of all materials and exhibits must be delivered to Court Administration at the Main Campus at 2000 Lakeridge Dr SW, Bldg. 2.
Instead of dropping off a hard copy, you may use the Clerk’s Office process for providing judge’s copies. At the time you file your document through the Clerk’s Office e-filing system, you may select the option of having the Clerk’s Office deliver your judge’s copy (for a fee). This option is available when you e-file your document. If you have any questions, please contact the clerk at 360-786-5430 or County_Clerk@co.thurston.wa.us.
Judge’s copies will not be accepted by email.
IMPORTANT:
Every document, including electronic judge’s copies sent to the Clerk’s Office, shall contain all the following information in the following format on the top left-hand corner of the first page per LCR 10. If the document does not contain all this information, it may not be provided to the Judicial Officer.
**Thurston County Superior Court has been informed that all Administrative Office of the Courts systems are unavailable. This includes Odyssey, JABS, JIS, JCS and other AOC-hosted information systems. Currently, AOC does not have an estimated time of restoration.**
IF POSSIBLE, beforethe date of ANY hearing, provide the Court with hard copy Judge’s copies of the Notice of Hearing and any pleadings filed.
This will help ensure that the Court is aware of the hearing.
Courtesy copies provided to the opposing party will also help to support the hearing going forward.
Hard copies will be the primary way that judicial officers will be able to prepare as we are unable to access the files electronically at this time.
Filing questions should be directed to the Clerk’s Office at tcclerk@co.thurston.wa.us.
Do not contact Court staff regarding filing questions.
Thank you for your patience.
