Attorney Eugster loses another legal battle
Attorney and former Spokane City Council member Steve Eugster lost another legal decision today, this time challenging the way the state elects appellate judges and assigns them to three-judge panels.
The Washington Supreme Court, which in 2009 voted to suspend rather than disbar Eugster in an unrelated case, agreed to hear the challenge filed in Thurston County in what’s called a direct review because of the awkwardness of having appellate judges rule on the way they were elected.
Eugster appealed a Superior Court judge’s decision to dismiss the case. Upon review, the state’s high court unanimously agreed to uphold the lower court’s decision with Justice Mary Fairhurst writing for the majority that Eugster failed to prove that the laws establishing Washington’s Court of Appeals are unconstitutional.

Good. Eugster is right once in a while, but he deserves to lose just on general principles of universal karma.

I love it! Ole Steve never gives up and takes on the cases that nobody else would touch. He’s the Rambo of Spokane. I do remember when he served the members of the City Council and stepped up to the proverbial plate. I only wish that he would run for Mayor!!!! I can assure you that all the graft, corruption, and union sponsored favoritism would be a thing of the past. Good going Steve and NEVER give up.

Without someone continually challengenig the limits, we would have no limits.
Eugster is the locol guru on land use and construction law. He knows stuff that the rest of the others have forgotten or never learned.
Of course the SSC would overrule him, especialy since they are a bunch of old dowagers.
If Eugster was elected mayor.. Delaney could turn in those food spattered, dirty suspenders and go back to using a rope for a belt.

Eyman and Eugster their notions amasses
Initiatives/torts which are pains in the asses
Impugning the government parcel and bits
Proving to all they’re professional twits
With hubris and limelight they oft steal the show
When most of us wish they would just off and go
Harangue and harass the elected with zeal
Stirring the mob for myopic repeal
Eyman and Eugster I just have to say
Follow or lead or get out of the way
