This session provides attorneys and courts with a practical overview of Washington’s General Rule 33 (GR 33), which governs requests for disability accommodations in court proceedings.

Insights from the Administration Office of the Courts Disability Justice Task Force study will highlight current challenges and opportunities for improvement.
