Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest and two doctors are challenging the parental notification law.
Judge John Suddock is presiding over the Superior Court trial, which could last two weeks or more.
Suddock is the same judge who in December 2010 rejected Planned Parenthood's attempt to prevent the law from going into effect. The judge did, however, make some changes. He removed provisions calling for a fine of up to $1,000 and imprisonment of up to five years, and struck a section that allowed doctors to be liable for damages.
