Arizona Code of Judicial Administration – 2026
How the Supreme Court of Arizona administers the courts, in one hundred and fifty-one sections across seven Parts, adopted to implement the court's administrative supervision of every court in the state under article 6, section 3 of the Arizona Constitution. Part 3 covers the superior court: expedited hearing plans, parent education programs, the probate court standards, the priority of offender payments, records retention and disposition, protecting personal information in public records, and superior court fees. Part 4 does the same for the justice and municipal courts, and Part 5 is court operations — funding and enhanced collections, alternative dispute resolution, public defender training, the state grand jury, juror payments and evidence-based pretrial services. Part 6 is probation, from the administration of state-funded programs and probation officer certification to standard, intensive and juvenile supervision, the uniform conditions of supervised probation, and detention operations. Part 7 is the certification and licensing code: legal document preparers, legal paraprofessionals, alternative business structures, private process servers, fiduciaries, certified reporters, confidential intermediaries and defensive driving schools. Twenty-four sections are reserved and are published as such.
