Curriculum vitae or CIV (civil law) CR (criminal law) HC (Habeas Corpus) IC (Industry Commission) MH (Mental Health) CC (Business Commission) TX (Tax Court) SA (Special Measure) SB (State Bar Association) UB (Unemployment Benefit) Division 1 is responsible nationwide for complaints from the Industry Commission and unemployment compensation decisions of the Ministry of Economic Security. [6] A Division of Division 1 is responsible for appeals from the Tax Court. [7] The Court of Appeal, First Division, has national jurisdiction over appeals from industrial commissions, compensation decisions of the Department of Economic Security and decisions of the Tax Court. The appeal procedure is generally the same for civil and criminal cases. (There is a filing fee in civil cases, but not for criminal cases.) The Court also has jurisdiction to hear appeals in criminal cases of the Supreme Court, with the exception of cases where a death penalty has been imposed. Death penalty cases go directly to the Arizona Supreme Court. Arizona`s Constitution was amended in 1960 to authorize an appeals court that created the legislature in 1964. The first judges were elected in November 1964. The first judges were James Duke Cameron, Henry S. Stevens and Francis J. Donofrio for Division 1,[1] and Herbert F. Krucker, John F.
Molloy and James D. Hathaway for Division 2. [2] Only one judge after the first six received his seat by election. After the introduction of merit selection in 1975, judges were appointed by the Governor to fill vacancies or new positions. Arizona has two courts of appeal: the Court of Appeals is the intermediate court of appeal and the Supreme Court is the court of last resort. The clerk of each court is the best person to turn to. Only court administrative documents – e.g. budgets, memoranda and political documents – can be requested as part of this procedure to request public documents.
Documents and records relating to specific court cases must generally be requested in person from the clerk of the court where the case is being heard. Submitted files can often be searched electronically on the website of the court where the case is being heard. In most cases, however, the documents themselves can only be retrieved and copied by going to the clerk of that court`s office. First, information sessions are organized by number number. To find the file number of a case, you can find the opinion in the Arizona Reports or the Pacific Reporter. The file number is indicated in the advance information at the beginning of the notice. For pending Arizona Court of Appeals cases, you can also find case numbers on court websites (Division One; Second Division). Several judges of the Court of Appeals have been appointed to the Arizona Supreme Court, including: James Duke Cameron (1965-1971), Robert J. Corcoran (1981-1988), Ruth McGregor (1989-1998), Michael D. Ryan (1996-2002), Rebecca White Berch (1998-2002), Ann Timmer (2000-2012), Andrew Gould (2012-2017) and James Beene (2017-2019). In 1969, 1974, 1982 and 1989, three-judge panels were added to Division 1.
Another judge was added in 1995 “so that the president could devote time to the increasing administrative burden on the court.” [2] Division 2 added three judges in 1985. [2] The Court of Appeal was established in 1965 as the first appellate court of the Supreme Court. It has two divisions: Division One in Phoenix (16 judges) and Division Two in Tucson (six judges). The Court of Appeals: The Court of Appeals has jurisdiction over the Arizona Superior Court`s review of civil appeals, including the relationship between minors and domestic servants. The tribunal also reviews decisions on workers` compensation and unemployment benefits, decisions of the Tax Court and certain decisions of the Business Board. The Arizona Court of Appeals is the intermediate court of appeals for the state of Arizona. It is divided into two divisions, with a total of twenty-two judges on the court: sixteen in Division 1 based in Phoenix and six in Division 2 based in Tucson. Related pleadings are placed on file from the court and are in the Stacks collection on the sixth floor. Microfilm pleadings are organized by court and case type and are located on the third floor.

Please note that the Chief Justice of the Arizona Supreme Court yesterday filed Regulation A.O. 2020-47 to authorize the restriction of court operations in the event of a public health emergency. Requests for a good faith extension of the coronavirus deadline are considered by the court to be a valid reason. Each department of the Court of Appeal has a registrar and other auxiliary staff. Their tasks are described in A.R.S. § 12-120.09. A clerk keeps official records and records and takes care of the administrative tasks of the court. The court can also rule on “special measures requests,” which is Arizona`s designation for special court claims such as certiorari, mandamus, prohibition, and injunctions. While the Phoenix and Tucson Court of Appeals is divided into two geographic divisions, the higher courts are bound by all decisions of the Court of Appeal, regardless of the department in which they are rendered. A trial court in Arizona is not required to set a precedent for a decision of the Court of Appeals of the division in which it is located and then a decision of the other division.
