Superior Court Eliminates 245 PM Friday Omnibus Calendar

Snohomish, WALocal News

The Superior Court has announced a significant change regarding its scheduling for legal proceedings. Starting the week of November 18, 2024, the 2:45 PM Friday Omnibus calendar will be eliminated, with the last hearing set for November 15, 2024, at 2:45 PM. This adjustment may bring efficiency to court operations, but it could also create challenges for those who have relied on this time for their legal matters. Stakeholders, including attorneys and defendants, will need to adapt to the continued availability of the 1:00 PM Friday Omnibus calendar. The decision highlights the court's ongoing efforts to optimize its scheduling and accessibility.

For many, this change may necessitate a reevaluation of their legal strategies and timelines. Court officials have indicated that they aim to ensure a smooth transition during this adjustment period. Individuals are encouraged to stay informed about these changes to mitigate any potential disruptions in their legal proceedings.
