Legal Journal
The Washington County Bar Association owns and publishes the Washington County Reports, the official legal periodical for Washington County. Since 1920, legal notices, as well as other Court and law-related information, have been published in the weekly legal journal for the benefit of our subscribers and as a service to the profession, the legal community, the Court and the public.
A new issue of Washington County Reports is published every Thursday. The deadline for receipt of notices for the following week's legal journal is Friday by noon, although holidays may alter this deadline.
Notices can be mailed, faxed or emailed and may be paid over the phone by credit card (w/ 3% processing fee) or by check made payable to “Washington County Reports” mailed to the Bar office. Notices must be pre-paid before they will be published.
