Options – Part OneBy Geoff Jones

A frequent guest columnist, my law partner Geoff Jones piece “Options” takes anyone born after 1970 on a historical road trip through the changes in the American car culture from stars and stripes forever to a globalized present that actually means a better product. Part 1 is published here with Part 2 due next month.

I recently purchased an almost new Toyota RAV4 automobile. I paid no heed to the fact that it was a Japanese car. The distinction between American and foreign made cars is no longer relevant to me as a consumer, but there was a time when I would be embarrassed to own a “rice rocket” from Japan. Like my father before me (and his father before him), I grew up as a “Ford Guy”, and sneered at my misguided friends who preferred Chevys and Dodges. Even before we could drive, we were all brand loyal to the Big 3 of American automobile manufacturers. We considered some of the more exotic foreign made vehicles such as Jaguars and Porsches to be cool cars, but they were generally out of the price range of most middle class American males. But in the sixties and early seventies, Hondas were considered only as motorcycles and nobody had ever heard of Datsuns or Toyotas. These little imports from Japan were built to

Well, the smoke has finally cleared, but the rain is now falling outside my window in sheets! The air is relatively warm, but I am assured that will change here too. I hope each one of you had a wonderful summer, with memories of good times with family and friends.

My first order of business on behalf of your Snohomish County Bar Association is to welcome our newest member to the bench: Edirin O. Okoloko, who will assume the position held by retiring Judge George Bowden. Mr. Okoloko was born in Nigeria, obtained his Bachelor of Law degree from the University of Benin, Nigeria, and received his law degree from Seattle University School of Law. After law school, Mr. Okoloko served as a judicial law clerk for Judge Michael Downes before being hired by the Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office where he has worked for the past 13 years, handling homicide, sexual assault, child abuse and elder abuse cases, to mention but a few. He has also represented the Snohomish County Multiple Agency Response Team, which investigates incidents of suspected excessive force by police officers. As Governor Inslee put it best: “Edirin has a clear dedication to the legal profession and a successful history of bringing justice to some of our state’s most vulnerable crime victims. . . . He will be an excellent addition to the bench in Snohomish County.” An excellent addition indeed! Mr. Okoloko will be sworn in and assume the bench in October, 2018. The date and time of his swearing in ceremony has yet to be set, but will be announced shortly.

Our golf tournament was held at Harbor Point this year and was an unqualified success. I did not personally attend, as on any golf course I am a threat to both flora and fauna! This is the third year we have participated in the tournament, which supports the local community of special needs adults through the All Aboard Program, whose mission is to provide recreational, social and educational activities to adults with special needs to help them develop an active, positive and inclusive lifestyle. It is my understanding that the tournament will be scheduled again next summer, so stay tuned for additional details.

If this is your reporting year, I want to remind you that on October 19, 2018, we will be presenting an Estate Planning Practice CLE from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The faculty is outstanding and will offer a wealth

of information based on experience – not just “talking head” presenters. This CLE has been approved for 6 general credits and will be held at the Robert J. Drewel Building, First Floor, Meeting Room No. 1. This CLE is an incredible deal: it is free to Snohomish County Bar Association members (another great membership benefit) and $125.00 to non-members. If you are interested, please RSVP with the Snohomish County Bar Association Offices at 425.388.3056.

Finally, I need to shout out to each of you to consider becoming a member of the Board of your Snohomish County Bar Association. It is my understanding that we will have approximately three positions available this next year. We need members, both young and old, from various areas of practice to represent our legal community. If you are not interested in becoming a Board Member, you can also participate through a committee of the Board. If you are interested, please call Joyce Wood at 425.388.3056 to get more information. �

be economical and were looked on as mere novelties. American cars were fast and loud, the speed limit on the freeway was 70 mph (but you could get away with 80) and gas was only 25 cents a gallon. When I was growing up, most guys worked on their own cars and knew their way around a Ford V-8 or a Chevy 350 better than their girlfriend’s anatomy. Japanese cars had funny little 4 cylinder engines in which the displacement was measured in CCs instead of inches, likely owned by poor college students and eccentric engineers.

In my youth, the car buying decision was a result of subjective biases and anecdotal evidence, which was often passed on from father to son. A “Ford Guy” was on a first name basis with the local Ford dealer, and every 10 to 15 years would come in and drive away with the latest model, dazzled by the shiny chrome and breathing in that new car smell (which is largely a result of the out gassing from the vinyl seats and polyester carpeting). Ford Guys couldn’t wait to show off to their friends and neighbors the latest model of Mustang or Galaxy 500 coming out of Detroit, and driven straight off the dealer’s show room floor. They would wash their new vehicle every Saturday and apply a generous coat of Turtle wax to maintain that glossy finish on the clear coat – at least for the first six months until the next year’s models were released in September and it began to lose its status as the newest car on the block.

This “America First” brand loyalty to the Big Three automakers came to an end in the late seventies and early eighties, brought on by the Arab oil embargo and the public’s dawning awareness of the damage that carbon monoxide exhaust was contributing to the air quality in urban areas. The failure of the American automobile industry to react to these changes resulted in an end to brand loyalty as the sole factor in the car buying decision. The American consumer was forced to realize that bigger was not always better, and they needed to look at fuel economy as a factor in their buying decisions. The federal government also stepped in to regulate the emissions of American automobiles, and Detroit’s early attempts to limit these emissions were clumsy and expensive to implement. The American public lost confidence in the U.S. automobile industry as Detroit’s infrastructure began to crumble and plant closures and massive layoffs became a common occurrence. Ford and GMC lobbied Congress for financial subsidies to keep from going under and the Chrysler corporation filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. As a consequence, the American male’s reliance on brand loyalty to the Big Three as a significant part of the decision of purchasing a car,

systematically eroded.Japanese automobiles on the other hand, were

generally less expensive to purchase and much more economical to drive. And what was an even greater surprise to the American consumer, was to learn that Japanese vehicles were often better engineered and made to last a lot longer than their American rivals. In the mid-seventies Consumer Reports began publishing buyer’s guides to automobiles that applied objective testing of each make and model, which focused on hitherto unknown factors such as long term reliability and resale value. By the late-80s it was hard for even the most diehard adherents to the “America First” brand loyalty to American automobiles to ignore the fact that most Japanese manufacturers outperformed their American equivalents in almost every category. Even my father, who once vowed in the seventies that he would never buy an “S.L.J.C.” (i.e. a “sh__ty little Japanese car”) broke down in 1990 and bought a Nissan Maxima. Thus, I myself had long since abandoned any prejudice against Japanese automobiles. Over time, I have become very attached to my 1999 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck which I refuse to part with, believing it to be indestructible and will last forever.

My wife has always owned Hondas and I have been forced to grudgingly admit over the years that they are generally well-designed and comfortable to drive. Thus, when my arthritic legs began to fail me and it became harder for me to drive my own vehicles (which have manual transmissions), I started borrowing her Honda Pilot more and more frequently to drive to and from work. This Honda SUV is a comfortable height for me to get in and out of, and easy for me to drive with its automatic transmission. But my use of her car, left her without a vehicle to drive around during the day with the kids, because the car seat for the baby won’t fit in my truck or Mustang. Thus, it was actually her idea for me to buy another car that was easy for me to drive, to use as a commuter vehicle. And after some objective research (as well as my own name brand familiarity with Toyotas), I decided on the RAV4. Its decidedly not an American car – being built in Ontario Canada at the Toyota plant in Cambridge, with 50% of the parts being manufactured in Japan. Thus, very little of the RAV4 was actually made in the USA.

By buying a car that was a year old with less than 10,000 miles on it, I managed to get all the advantages of owning a new car, without having to pay the initial depreciation which is imputed to every new car the minute you drive it off the dealer’s lot. To save additional costs of this nearly new car, I also decided

eThICAl Issues

by erICA w. Temple

continued from page 5

This column answers questions about ethical issues that may arise in your everyday legal practice. This month’s column addresses the question: What are your ethical obligations related to the use of email and online data storage?

Rule of Professional Conduct (RPC) 1.1 mandates that a lawyer provide competent representation to their clients. In order to do so, lawyers should stay informed of changes in the law and its practice, “including the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology…” Comment [8]. Under the RPC, lawyers also owe a duty to their clients to keep client information confidential and to protect client property.

For example, if you communicate with a client via a Gmail account, you might consider Google’s privacy policy, quoted from the Google website; “We also collect the content you create, upload, or receive from others when using our services. This includes things like email you write and receive, photos and videos you save, docs and spreadsheets you create…” Advisory Opinion 2175 (2008) addresses the level of security and encryption that lawyers should use with email; unusual circumstances involving extraordinarily sensitive information might warrant enhanced security measures like encryption.

There are other risks to communicating with clients via email; for example, if a lawyer believes there is a significant risk that a third party will access the communications, such as when the client is using an employer-provided email account, the lawyer has an obligation to advise the clients of those risks. Advisory Opinion 2217 (2012).

Finally, Advisory Opinion 2215 (2012) addresses a lawyer’s obligations related to the use of online data storage by third parties to store confidential client documents. The opinion sets out a number of factors that lawyers should consider and concludes that, “a lawyer may use online data storage systems to store and back up client confidential information as long as the lawyer takes reasonable care to ensure that the information will remain confidential and that the information is secure against risk of loss.”

If you have questions about your own future conduct, consider calling the WSBA Ethics line at (206) 727-8284.

on the most basic model of the RAV4 without all of the options available in the more expensive trim packages. Nevertheless, I was surprised by all the features that now come as part of the standard model with just about any new car these days. Things like power windows and mirrors, C.D. players and LCD displays with back up cameras, are part of the standard features that come with every new RAV4, even without all of the various option packages available. As a former Ford Guy from the sixties and seventies, I know that when the Ford Mustang was released in mid-1964 the standard model had a straight six engine and a 3 speed manual transmission. Other things like automatic transmissions and the 289 V-8 engines were factory options which were added on to the base price of the vehicle when shipped to the dealer and included in the M.S.R.P. for the vehicle. Things like air conditioning and AM/FM radios or 8 Track tape players were either factory or dealer options which a purchaser could either order from the factory as part of a car to be delivered, or added to an existing vehicle on the lot as a dealer added charge.

Wanda Bauman, a long time Snohomish County employee passed away in August of this year. She was well known to the family law bar during the years she served as an investigator for the Snohomish County Superior Court Family Court Investigation Unit. Ms. Bauman was a founding member of that unit and was well known for her thorough and informative parenting plan reports which were of great assistance to the bench and bar in establishing appropriate parenting plans for many families in this county. Prior to her work with the Family Court Investigation Unit, Ms. Bauman was a probation counselor at the Denney Juvenile Justice Center working with young people.

When the Family Court Investigation Unit was discontinued for budgetary reasons in 2008, Ms. Bauman joined the Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office as a Diversion Counselor. She remained in that position until her retirement in 2012. Ms. Bauman dedicated her efforts throughout her 33 years of service with Snohomish County to improve the lives of the citizens of our community. She will be missed by those of us who had the opportunity to work with her during those years .

Campaign for Equal Justice Update for 2018It’s not justice if it’s not equal.

I don’t know about you, but I started raking leaves this past weekend. And I noticed that it is dark in the morning when I wake up. Yes, it is definitely fall in Snohomish County! And this means it’s time for the 2018 Snohomish County Campaign for Equal Justice’s Phone-a-Thon.

For those of you that may not be familiar, the Campaign for Equal Justice is our state’s coordinated, annual fund drive for civil legal aid. We ask lawyers and judges throughout the state to invest in legal aid that creates justice and hope across the state and here in Snohomish County. In 2017, our Annual Campaign funded legal aid for 31,000 families in poverty. Thanks to donors like you, we raised $1.6 million to support 23 non-profit providers of civil legal aid with program grants.

The Snohomish County’s Phone-a-thon this year will be held on Thursday, October 11th at Anderson Hunter, PS (2707 Colby Ave, Everett, WA 10th floor), from 12:00pm to 4:00pm.

We are looking for volunteers to come and help with the Phone-a-Thon. Come and make phone calls to local bar members asking donations for the Campaign. We will supply the list of names, phone numbers and some talking points or a script for you. We make it easy for you to ask your friends, colleagues and even opposing counselor to help support this worthy cause.

For those of you who are a less comfortable with a direct ask, but still want to support the Campaign for Equal Justice, we are asking for your signature! How easy is that? Come and sign your name to our Snohomish County Regional Appeal letter…and maybe add a personal note to the recipient encouraging them to support this excellent cause. Either way, we will supply you with pizza and pop to spur you on. If you have any questions, please contact Ann Brice at 425.252.0797.

Even if you can’t come to the Phone-a-thon, please consider making a donation to the Campaign for Equal Justice. You can give on-line at www.legalfoundation.org or when you renew your Washington State Bar Dues. If you don’t opt out when you send in your licensing information, you will be automatically donating $75.00 to the Campaign for Equal Justice. Think of it as “doing nothing for justice.”

Last year in Snohomish County, 282 donors raised over $37,000 during the Campaign. The Snohomish County Superior Court Judges and the Board of Snohomish County Legal Services each reached the

100% level of giving. Our goal county-wide for 2018 is to raise $40,000.

With every dollar you donated to the Campaign last year, almost $3.00 came back to Snohomish County Legal Services (SCLS) in the grant that SCLS received from the Legal Foundation of Washington. With that money, SCLS was able to provide legal assistance to over 1,100 new clients last year. This number represents individual clients served last year; the impact is larger considering the family members touched by your donation! With your donation to the Campaign, SCLS served clients through it dissolution clinic, monthly bankruptcy classes and clinic, weekly family law clinic, wills clinic, and, of course, the Housing Justice Project. Even with the hundreds of attorneys who volunteered their time for these clinics, SCLS still needs staff attorneys to help provide advice, education and direct representation. The Legal Foundation grant helps make that possible.

So I thank you in advance for your generosity and time! I look forward to seeing you at the Phone-a-thon.

---Ann M. Brice, Snohomish County Representative to LAW Fund and the Campaign for Equal Justice.
