Washington Order Assigning Lawyer Re Contempt (WOULD) is a court order issued by a Washington state court to assign an attorney to represent a party in a contempt of court proceeding. The WOULD is an alternative to the traditional contempt of court proceeding and provides the Court with the ability to appoint counsel to represent a party who is unable to locate or afford legal representation on their own. There are two types of Washington Order Assigning Lawyer Re Contempt: the Rule 11 Order and the Emergency Order. The Rule 11 Order is used when the Court has reasonable cause to believe the party is unable to pay for their own counsel and the Court must appoint an attorney for the party. The Emergency Order is used when the Court believes the party is in imminent danger of physical or mental harm and requires immediate legal representation.
