The Washington constitution in article I, section 21, provides that, "the right of trial by jury shall remain inviolate." It is this provision that forms the basis for determining the scope of the right in this state.
Rule 59(e) authorizes a motion to alter or amend a judgment. A Rule 59(e) motion must be filed no later than 28 days after the entry of the judgment. This is a strict time limit, and the court has no authority to grant more time.
Use this form if you believe the court's decision was legally incorrect or you have newly discovered evidence, and you want the same judge or commissioner to reconsider their decision.
