Washington appellate courts are starting to put briefs on the Web, Mary Whisner reports on her blog, Trial Ad (and other) Notes. So far, folks can access Washington Supreme Court briefs from June 2006 to the present, Division I (Seattle) briefs from June 2009 to the present, and Division II (Tacoma) briefs from June 2006 to the present. As the databases grow, this will be a boon to those who practice here. A trip to PACER is always one of my first steps in writing a brief in federal court. Find a hot case on Westlaw, get the date and cause number, and then retrieve the parties’ briefs. Looking forward to repeating this recipe for efficient researching and brief-writing when practicing in state court.
