Program Overview
Scheduled and Recorded Hearings
In newly filed cases, parties will be notified of the opportunity to
participate in the Pilot Program via the Order Regarding Initial Disclosures,
Joint Status Report, and Early Settlement, or via a Notice from the clerk.
Parties should indicate their consent, or declination to consent, in the Joint
Status Report, or by following the instructions on the Notice from the clerk.
For all eligible cases in which the parties have consented to participate in the
Pilot Program:
a. A Notification of Request for Video Recording will be docketed by the
clerk's office for each scheduled hearing.
b. Parties must complete a Party Response to Request for Video Recording
within 5 days of receipt and email it to the assigned judge's courtroom deputy.
Do not e-file the Party Response. All parties must submit a Party Response,
which will not become part of the public record of the case.
Any party to a case, the presiding judge, the media, or the general public
may request that a proceeding in a civil case be video recorded by completing a
Request for Video Recording and e-mailing it to Eric_Smits@wawd.uscourts.gov.
Such requests must be submitted no later than 20 days prior to the proceeding at
issue. Do not e-file the request. The clerk will send a Notification of
Request for Video Recording to the parties. After receiving a request, parties
must then submit a Party Response as described above.
Once all parties have consented to the recording and the presiding judge has
approved, or at least one party has declined, the Clerk's Office will docket a
Notice Regarding Proposed Video Recording to inform the parties and the public
of the outcome of the consent process (without disclosing individual parties'
decisions about video recording).
A party may request that a witness be exempted from video recording of a
proceeding by e-mailing a Request to Exempt Witness from Video Recording to the
assigned courtroom deputy. Such requests must be e-mailed no later that 10 days
prior to the proceeding at issue.
After a proceeding is video recorded, it will be made available to the
public via the U.S. Courts Cameras in Courts Video Player Website and this
court's website, generally within 48 hours. The presiding judge may decide not
to release all or part of the recording.
A list of recorded proceedings, along with a list of upcoming hearings to be
recorded, can be found on our website.
Questions regarding these procedures should be directed to Lori Landis, Chief
Deputy Clerk, at (206) 370-8483 or via e-mail to lori_landis@wawd.uscourts.gov.
Additional information about the Pilot Program can be found at the U.S. Courts
Cameras in Courts Website.

PJ, check your email. I sent you a copy of the PDF file I converted to be usable
in a non-Adobe reader.
It is a simple form with gratuitous use of JavaScript that does nothing useful
and has the side effect of only working with Adobe software. The form asks you
to enter the case number, judge, proceeding, date, etc, reason for the request,
signature, name, and organization, and either email it or print it out and post
it.
Since you can snail-mail the printed form I can see no reason why it has to be
in such a restrictive format.

I know PDF is supposedly a standard, but you might remind them that not all
versions of PDF are standard ...
Also, Okular can read most PDFs *including* ones with forms - we do that
regularly here.
And lastly, we often have trouble reading PDFs with forms. Interestingly enough,
if Okular won't read them, we often find that Acrobat won't read them either!
Cheers,
