(b) Credit shall be awarded on the basis of one (1) hour for each 60 minutes actually spent by a member in attendance at an approved activity. Otherwise stated, a "credit hour" equals one (1) clock hour of actual attendance. (c) Meals and Banquets. Credit may not be denied merely because continuing legal education activities are presented at a meal or banquet.

(d) Teaching or Participating. Credit toward the continuing legal education requirement set forth in APR 11.2(a) and Regulation 102 may be earned through teaching or participating in an approved continuing legal education activity on the following basis:

(1) An active member teaching in an approved activity shall receive credit on the basis of one (1) credit for each 60 minutes actually spent by such member in attendance at and teaching in presentation of such activity. Additionally, an active member teaching in such an activity shall also be awarded further credit on the basis of one (1) credit hour for each 60 minutes actually spent in preparation time, provided that in no event shall more than 10 hours of credit be awarded for the preparation of one (1) hour or less of actual presentation.

EXAMPLES: Attorney X, an active member, gives a one (1) hour lecture presentation at a six (6) credit hour seminar presented in each of three cities. Attorney X is entitled to one (1) credit hour for each 60 minutes of actual attendance and teaching at presentation of the seminar. In addition, attorney X may be awarded up to 10 additional credits for time spent in preparation. Accordingly, Attorney X, if he attends and teaches in an entire presentation of the seminar, may claim a total of 16 credits maximum for his involvement in the three-city series of seminars.

Attorney Y, an active member, gives a two (2) hour lecture at the same seminar. Attorney Y is entitled to one (1) credit hour for each 60 minutes of actual attendance and teaching at presentation of the seminar. In addition, Attorney Y may be awarded up to 20 additional credits for time spent in preparation. Accordingly, Attorney Y, if he attends and teaches in an entire presentation of the seminar, may claim a total of 26 credits maximum for his involvement in the three-city series of seminars.

(2) An active member participating in an approved activity shall receive credit on the basis of one (1) credit hour for each 60 minutes actually spent by such member in attendance at presentation of such activity. Additionally, an active member participating in such an activity shall also be awarded further credit on the basis of one (1) hour for each 60 minutes actually spent in preparation time, provided that in no event shall more than five (5) hours of credit be awarded for such preparation time in any one such continuing legal education activity.

EXAMPLE: Attorney Z, an active member, participates in a one (1) hour panel discussion at a six (6) credit hour seminar presented in each of three cities. Attorney Z is entitled to one (1) credit hour for each 60 minutes of actual attendance at presentation of the seminar.

Accordingly, Attorney Z, if he actually attends an entire presentation of the seminar, may claim a total of 11 credits maximum for his involvement in the three-city series of seminars.
(e) Law School Courses. Credit under the provisions of APR 11 shall be computed on the basis of one (1) credit for each clock hour of instructed law school class time actually attended up to a maximum of 15.00 hours per course. For example, under this formula, an active member who actually attends 30 hours of instruction in a law school course may claim a maximum of 15.00 hours of credit under APR 11, with the remaining 15.00 hours being inapplicable toward the requirement and not capable of being carried over to the next reporting period. However, an active member attending two separate courses may earn a maximum of 15.00 hours of credit per course and in such instance may carry the excess 15.00 hours of credit over to the next reporting period.

An active member taking such a course shall arrange with the instructor for verification of the active member's actual attendance at the various sessions of the course and for the reporting of such attendance to the Board.

Success on any examination given in connection with such a course is not a prerequisite to obtaining CLE credit for attendance at a course under the provisions of APR 11.

(iii) any combination of the foregoing training; or

(iv) serving as a mentor to a participating attorney who has completed the foregoing training; and

(2) Each attorney seeking CLE credit also will have subsequently completed not less than four (4) hours of pro bono work in providing direct legal advice, representation, or other legal assistance to a low-income client(s) through a qualified legal services provider or in serving as a mentor to other participating attorney(s) who are providing suchdirect advice, representation , or assistance.

ER 701 OPINION TESTIMONY BY LAY WITNESSES

If the witness is not testifying as an expert, the witness' testimony in the form of opinions or inferences is limited to those opinions or inferences which are (a) rationally based on the perception of the witness, and (b) helpful to a clear understanding of the witness' testimony or the determination of a fact in issue, and (c) not based on scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge within the scope of rule 702.

Comment 701

This rule is the same as Federal Rule 701. It is essentially a rule of discretion and differs from previous law more in form than substance. The rule requires the trial judge, on the basis of the posture of the particular case, to decide whether concreteness, abstraction or a combination of both will be most effective in enabling the jury to ascertain the truth and reach a just result. In applying the rule, it should be kept in mind that its purpose is to eliminate time-consuming quibbles over objections that would not affect the outcome regardless of how they were decided. The emphasis belongs on what the witness knows and not on how he is expressing himself. 3 J. Weinstein, Evidence § 701[02] (1975).

In several recent cases the Washington Supreme Court has cited section 401 of the Model Code of Evidence as controlling the admission of a lay opinion testimony in Washington. See Church v. West, 75 Wn.2d 502, 452 P.2d 265 (1969); 5 R. Meisenholder, Wash. Prac. § 341 (1975 Supp.). Section 401 would usually yield the same result as decisional law predating it. Some examples of admissible opinion testimony are: the speed of a vehicle, the mental responsibility of another, whether another was "healthy", the value of one's own property, and the identification of a person. Meisenholder § 341 (1975 Supp.). The 2004 amendment is not intended to affect the typical examples of admissible opinion testimony cited in the preceding sentence.

Differences between existing Washington law and rule 701 are largely matters of form rather than substance. Although Model Code section 401 assumes that the witness may generally testify in terms of inference and opinion, the court may require the testimony to be stated in nonabstract detail if it finds that the witness is capable of doing so satisfactorily and that the statement by the witness of his conclusory inferences might mislead the trier of fact. Rule 701 approaches the problem in reverse. It assumes that the witness will give his testimony by stating his observations in as raw a form as practicable, but permits him to resort to inferences and opinions when this form of testimony will be helpful. Both rules give the trial court a wide latitude of discretion. As a practical matter, rule 701 is unlikely to change Washington law. See Meisenholder § 343.

The subject matter of rule 701 is analyzed in greater detail in Powell Burns, A Discussion of the New Federal Rules of Evidence, 8 Gonz. L.Rev. 1, 14-16 (1972).

CrR 4.2 PLEAS

(g) Written Statement. A written statement of the defendant in substantially the form set forth below shall be filed on a plea of guilty:

1. My true name is: _____________________________________.

2. My age is: _____________________________________________.

3. I went through the _____________________________________ grade.

4. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT:

(a) I have the right to representation by a lawyer and that if I cannot afford to pay for a lawyer, one will be provided at no expense to me.

(b) I am charged with: ____________________________________ The elements are: _________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________.

5. I UNDERSTAND I HAVE THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT RIGHTS, AND I GIVE THEM ALL UP BY PLEADING GUILTY:

(a) The right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury in the county where the crime is alleged to have been committed;

(b) The right to remain silent before and during trial, and the right to refuse to testify against myself;

(c) The right at trial to hear and question the witnesses who testify against me;

(d) The right at trial to testify and to have witnesses testify for me. These witnesses can be made to appear at no expense to me;

(e) I am presumed innocent unless the charge is proven beyond a reasonable doubt or I enter a plea of guilty;

(f) The right to appeal a finding of guilt after a trial.

6. IN CONSIDERING THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY GUILTY PLEA, I UNDERSTAND THAT:

(a) Each crime with which I am charged carries a maximum sentence, a fine, and a STANDARD SENTENCE RANGE as follows:

(F) Firearm, (D) other deadly weapon, (V) VUCSA in protected zone, (VH) Veh. Hom, see RCW 46.61.520, (JP) Juvenile present

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | COUNT | OFFENDER | STANDARD | PLUS | TOTAL | COMMUNITY | MAXIMUM | | NO. | SCORE | RANGE ACTUAL | Enhancements | ACTUAL CONFINEMENT | CUSTODY | TERM AND | | | | CONFINEMENT | | (standard | RANGE (Only | FINE | | | | (not including | | range including | applicable for | | | | | enhancements | | enhancements) | crimes committed | | | | | | | | on or after July 1, | | | | | | | | 2000. For crimes | | | | | | | | committed prior | | | | | | | | to July 1, 2000, | | | | | | | | see paragraph | | | | | | | | 6(f).) | | |-------|-----------|------------------|--------------------|---------------------|---------------------|----------| | 1 | | | | | | | |-------|-----------|------------------|--------------------|---------------------|---------------------|----------| | 2 | | | | | | | |-------|-----------|------------------|--------------------|---------------------|---------------------|----------| | 3 | | | | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (b) The standard sentence range is based on the crime charged and my criminal history. Criminal history includes prior convictions and juvenile adjudications or convictions, whether in this state, in federal court, or elsewhere.

(c) The prosecuting attorney's statement of my criminal history is attached to this agreement. Unless I have attached a different statement, I agree that the prosecuting attorney's statement is correct and complete. If I have attached my own statement, I assert that it is correct and complete. If I am convicted of any additional crimes between now and the time I am sentenced, I am obligated to tell the sentencing judge about those convictions.

(d) If I am convicted of any new crimes before sentencing, or if any additional criminal history is discovered, both the standard sentence range and the prosecuting attorney's recommendation may increase. Even so, my plea of guilty to this charge is binding on me. I cannot change my mind if additional criminal history is discovered even though the standard sentencing range and the prosecuting attorney's recommendation increase or a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole is required by law.

(e) In addition to sentencing me to confinement, the judge will order me to pay $500.00 as a victim's compensation fund assessment. If this crime resulted in injury to any person or damage to or loss of property, the judge will order me to make restitution, unless extraordinary circumstances exist which make restitution inappropriate. The amount of restitution may be up to double my gain or double the victim's loss. The judge may also order that I pay a fine, court costs, attorney fees and the costs of incarceration.

(f) For crimes committed prior to July 1, 2000: In addition to sentencing me to confinement, the judge may order me to serve up to one (1) year of community supervision if the total period of confinement ordered is not more than 12 months. If this crime is a drug offense, assault in the second degree, assault of a child in the second degree, or any crime against a person in which a specific finding was made that I or an accomplice was armed with a deadly weapon, the judge will order me to serve at least one (1) year of community placement. If this crime is a vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, or a serious violent offense, the judge will order me to serve at least two (2) years of community placement. The actual period of community placement, community custody, or community supervision may be as long as my earned early release period. During the period of community placement, community custody, or community supervision, I will be under the supervision of the Department of Corrections, and I will have restrictions and requirements placed upon me.

For crimes committed on or after July 1, 2000: In addition to sentencing me to confinement, the judge may order me to serve up to one (1) year of community custody if the total period of confinement ordered is not more than 12 months. If the crime I have been convicted of falls into one of the offense types listed in the following chart, the court will sentence me to community custody for the community custody range established for that offense type unless the judge finds substantial and compelling reasons not to do so. If the period of earned release awarded per RCW 9.94A.150 is longer, that will be the term of my community custody. If the crime I have been convicted of falls into more than one category of offense types listed in the following chart, then the community custody range will be based on the offense type that dictates the longest term of community custody.

OFFENSE TYPE COMMUNITY CUSTODY RANGE 4404 69.50 69.52 9.94A

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | |------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------| | Serious Violent Offenses | 24 to 48 months or up to the period of earned release, | | | whichever is longer. | |------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------| | Violent Offenses | 18 to 36 months or up to the period of earned release, | | | whichever is longer. | |------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------| | Crimes Against Persons as defined by RCW | 9 to 18 months or up to the period of earned release, | | 9.94A.11(2) | whichever is longer. | |------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------| | Offenses under Chapter or RCW (Not | 9 to 12 months or up to the period of earned release, | | sentenced under RCW . 120(6)) | whichever is longer. | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- During the period of community custody I will be under the supervision of the Department of Corrections, and I will have restrictions and requirements placed upon me. My failure to comply with these conditions will render me ineligible for general assistance, RCW 74.04.005(6)(h), and may result in the Department of Corrections transferring me to a more restrictive confinement status or other sanctions.

(g) The prosecuting attorney will make the following recommendation to the judge: ____________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________

The prosecutor will recommend as stated in the plea agreement, which is incorporated by reference.

NOTIFICATION RELATING TO SPECIFIC CRIMES: IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS DO NOT APPLY, THEY SHOULD BE STRICKEN AND INITIALED BY THE DEFENDANT AND THE JUDGE.

[m] This offense is a most serious offense or strike as defined by RCW 9.94A.030, and if I have at least two prior convictions for most serious offenses, whether in this state, in federal court, or elsewhere, the crime for which I am charged carries a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

[n] The judge may sentence me as a first-time offender instead of giving a sentence within the standard range if I qualify under RCW 9.94A.030. This sentence could include as much as 90 days' confinement, and up to two (2) years community supervision if the crime was committed prior to July 1, 2000, or up to two (2) years of community custody if the crime was committed on or after July 1, 2000, plus all of the conditions described in paragraph (e). Additionally, the judge could require me to undergo treatment, to devote time to a specific occupation, and to pursue a prescribed course of study or occupational training.

[o] If this crime involves a kidnapping offense involving a minor, I will be required to register where I reside, study or work. The specific registration requirements are set forth in the "Offender Registration" Attachment.

[p] If this is a crime of domestic violence , I may be ordered to pay a domestic violence assessment of up to $100.00. and i If, I or the victim of the offense, have a minor child, the court may order me to participate in a domestic violence perpetrator program approved under RCW 26.50.150.

[q] If this crime involves prostitution, or a drug offense associated with hypodermic needles, I will be required to undergo testing for the human immunodeficiency (HIV/AIDS) virus.

[r] The judge may sentence me under the special drug offender sentencing alternative (DOSA) if I qualify under former RCW 9.94A.120(6) (for offenses committed before July 1, 2001) or RCW 9.94A.660 (for offenses committed on or after July 1, 2001). This sentence could include a period of total confinement in a state facility for one-half of the midpoint of the standard range plus all of the conditions described in paragraph 6(e). During confinement, I will be required to undergo a comprehensive substance abuse assessment and to participate in treatment. The judge will also impose community custody of at least one-half of the midpoint of the standard range that must include appropriate substance abuse treatment, a condition not to use illegal controlled substances, and a requirement to submit to urinalysis or other testing to monitor that status. Additionally, the judge could prohibit me from using alcohol or controlled substances, require me to devote time to a specific employment or training, stay out of certain areas, pay 30 dollars per month to offset the cost of monitoring and require other conditions, including affirmative conditions.

[s] If the judge finds that I have a chemical dependency that has contributed to the offense, the judge may order me to participate in rehabilitative programs or otherwise to perform affirmative conduct reasonably related to the circumstances of the crime for which I am pleading guilty.

[t] If this crime involves the manufacture, delivery, or possession with the intent to deliver methamphetamine or amphetamine, a mandatory methamphetamine clean-up fine of $3,000.00 will be assessed. RCW 69.50.401(a)(1)(ii).

[u] If this crime involves a violation of the state drug laws, my eligibility for state and federal food stamps, welfare, and education benefits will be affected. 20 U.S.C. § 1091(r) and 21 U.S.C. § 862a.

[v] If this crime involves a motor vehicle, my driver's license or privilege to drive will be suspended or revoked. If I have a driver's license, I must now surrender it to the judge.

[w] If this crime involves the offense of vehicular homicide while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug, as defined by RCW 46.61.502, committed on or after January 1, 1999, an additional two (2) years shall be added to the presumptive sentence for vehicular homicide for each prior offense as defined in RCW 46.61.5055(8).

[x] The crime of ________________________________________ has a mandatory minimum sentence of at least _________________ years of total confinement. The law does not allow any reduction of this sentence. This mandatory minimum sentence is not the same as the mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole described in paragraph 6[m].

[y] I am being sentenced for two or more serious violent offenses arising from separate and distinct criminal conduct and the sentences imposed on counts ______ and ______ will run consecutively unless the judge finds substantial and compelling reasons to do otherwise.

[z] I understand that the offense(s) I am pleading guilty to include a deadly weapon or firearm enhancement. Deadly weapon or firearm enhancements are mandatory, they must be served in total confinement, and they must run consecutively to any other sentence and to any other deadly weapon or firearm enhancements.

[aa] I understand that the offenses I am pleading guilty to include both a conviction under RCW 9.41.040 for unlawful possession of a firearm in the first or second degree and one or more convictions for the felony crimes of theft of a firearm or possession of a stolen firearm. The sentences imposed for these crimes shall be served consecutively to each other. A consecutive sentence will also be imposed for each firearm unlawfully possessed.

[bb] I understand that if I am pleading guilty to the crime of unlawful practices in obtaining assistance as defined in RCW 74.08.331, no assistance payment shall be made for at least six (6) months if this is my first conviction and for at least 12 months if this is my second or subsequent conviction. This suspension of benefits will apply even if I am not incarcerated. RCW 74.08.290.

(b) I am charged with: _______________________________________. The elements are: _______________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________

5. I UNDERSTAND I HAVE THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT RIGHTS, AND I GIVE THEM ALL UP BY PLEADING GUILTY:

(a) The right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury in the county where the crime is alleged to have been committed;

(b) The right to remain silent before and during trial, and the right to refuse to testify against myself;

6. IN CONSIDERING THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY GUILTY PLEA, I UNDERSTAND THAT:

(a) Each crime with which I am charged carries a maximum sentence, a fine, and a STANDARD SENTENCE RANGE as follows:

(F) Firearm, (D) other deadly weapon

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | COUNT | OFFENDER | STANDARD | PLUS | TOTAL | COMMUNITY | MAXIMUM | | NO. | SCORE | RANGE ACTUAL | Enhancements | ACTUAL CONFINEMENT | CUSTODY | TERM AND | | | | CONFINEMENT | | (standard | RANGE (Only | FINE | | | | (not including | | range including | applicable for | | | | | enhancements) | | enhancements) | crimes committed | | | | | | | | on or after July 1, | | | | | | | | 2000.

Criminal history includes prior convictions and juvenile adjudications or convictions, whether in this state, in federal court, or elsewhere.

(c) The prosecuting attorney's statement of my criminal history is attached to this agreement. Unless I have attached a different statement, I agree that the prosecuting attorney's statement is correct and complete. If I have attached my own statement, I assert that it is correct and complete. If I am convicted of any additional crimes between now and the time I am sentenced, I am obligated to tell the sentencing judge about those convictions.

(d) If I am convicted of any new crimes before sentencing, or if any additional criminal history is discovered, both the standard sentence range and the prosecuting attorney's recommendation may increase. Even so, my plea of guilty to this charge is binding on me. I cannot change my mind if additional criminal history is discovered even though the standard sentencing range and the prosecuting attorney's recommendation increase or a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole is required by law.

(e) In addition to sentencing me to confinement, the judge will order me to pay $500.00 as a victim's compensation fund assessment. If this crime resulted in injury to any person or damage to or loss of property, the judge will order me to make restitution, unless extraordinary circumstances exist which make restitution inappropriate. The amount of restitution may be up to double my gain or double the victim's loss. The judge may also order that I pay a fine, court costs, attorney fees and the costs of incarceration.

(f) For sex offenses committed prior to July 1, 2000: In addition to sentencing me to confinement, the judge may order me to serve up to one (1) year of community supervision if the total period of confinement ordered is not more than 12 months. If the period of confinement is more than one (1) year, the judge will order me to serve three (3) years of community custody or up to the period of earned early release, whichever is longer. During the period of community custody, I will be under the supervision of the Department of Corrections, and I will have restrictions and requirements placed upon me.

For sex offenses committed on or after July 1, 2000 but prior to September 1, 2001: In addition to sentencing me to confinement, the judge may order me to serve up to one (1) year of community custody if the total period of confinement ordered is not more than 12 months. If the period of confinement is over one (1) year, the judge will sentence me to community custody for a period of 36 to 48 months or up to the period of earned release, whichever is longer. During the period of community custody to which I am sentenced, I will be under the supervision of the Department of Corrections, and I will have restrictions and requirements placed upon me.

For sex offenses committed on or after September 1, 2001:

(i) Sentencing under RCW 9.94A.712: If this offense is for any of the offenses listed in subsections (aa) or (bb), below, the judge will impose a maximum term of confinement consisting of the statutory maximum sentence of the offense and a minimum term of confinement either within the standard range for the offense or outside the standard range if an exceptional sentence is appropriate. The minimum term of confinement that is imposed may be increased by the Indeter-minate Sentence Review Board if the Board determines by a preponderance of the evidence that it is more likely than not that I will commit sex offenses if released from custody. In addition to the period of confinement, I will be sentenced to community custody for any period of time I am released from total confinement before the expiration of the maximum sentence. During the period of community custody I will be under the supervision of the Department of Corrections and I will have restrictions and requirements placed upon me and I may be required to participate in rehabilitative programs.

If the period of confinement is over one (1) year, the judge will sentence me to community custody for a period of 36 to 48 months or up to the period of earned release, whichever is longer. During the period of community custody to which I am sentenced, I will be under the supervision of the Department of Corrections, and I will have restrictions and requirements placed upon me.

The prosecutor will recommend as stated in the plea agreement, which is incorporated by reference.

(h) The judge does not have to follow anyone's recommendation as to sentence. The judge must impose a sentence within the standard range unless the judge finds substantial and compelling reasons not to do so. If the judge goes outside the standard range, either the state or I can appeal that sentence. If the sentence is within the standard range, no one can appeal the sentence.

(i) If I am not a citizen of the United States, a plea of guilty to an offense punishable as a crime under state law is grounds for deportation, exclusion from admission to the United States, or denial of naturalization pursuant to the laws of the United States.

If I change my residence within a county, I must send written notice of my change of residence to the sheriff within 72 hours of moving. If I change my residence to a new county within this state, I must send written notice of the change of address at least 14 days before moving to the county sheriff in the new county of residence, I must register with the sheriff of the new county within 24 hours of moving, and I must also give written notice of my change of address to the sheriff of the county where last registered within 10 days of moving. If I move out of Washington State, I must send written notice within 10 days of moving to the new state or foreign country to the county sheriff with whom I last registered in Washington State.

If I move to another state, or if I work, carry on a vocation, or attend school in another state I must register a new address, fingerprints, and photograph with the new state within 10 days after establishing residence, or after beginning to work, carry on a vocation, or attend school in the new state.

The weekly report will be on a day specified by the county sheriff's office, and shall occur during normal business hours. I am required to provide a list of the locations where I have stayed during the last seven (7) days. The lack of a fixed residence is a factor that may be considered in determining a sex offender's risk level and shall make me subject to disclosure to the public at large pursuant to RCW 4.24.550.

I understand that if I am pleading guilty to two or more offenses, the disposition terms shall run consecutively (one term after the other) subject to the limitations in RCW 13.40.180.

I understand that my guilty plea will remain part of my criminal history when I am an adult and may affect my ability to remain in the Juvenile Justice System should I re-offend. I understand that the judge will consider my criminal history when sentencing me for any offense that I commit in the future as an adult or juvenile.
