The Arizona Supreme Court was thrilled to host a delegation of judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys from the country of Georgia during their recent visit to our state. Their goal: visit different parts of Arizona to learn more about the state’s juvenile justice system. Several justices joined the group for lunch and discussion before they took trips to Maricopa, Pima and Pinal counties to learn about court proceedings, family and juvenile program offerings, and tour facilities for juveniles. We thank the national and local teams who help us organize engaging visits like this! #welcome #courts #arizonalawyer
About us
The Arizona Judicial Branch is an integrated, but decentralized, judicial system implementing its constitutional and statutory responsibilities throughout all levels of government - state, county, and city. The Judicial Branch consists of the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, Superior Court, and limited jurisdiction (municipal and justice of peace) courts. The Arizona Constitution provides for the administrative supervision over all courts to rest with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The Administrative Office of the Courts is charged with assisting the Chief Justice in discharging his/her administrative duties. The mission of the Arizona Judicial Branch is to provide Arizona citizens with an independent, accessible, and integrated judicial system that maintains a high degree of public trust and confidence; serves as an asset by dispensing justice, resolving human disputes, and conducting its administrative functions in a fair, equitable, and just manner; operating efficiently and expeditiously. The Arizona Supreme Court is led by Chief Justice Ann A. Scott Timmer.

I’m excited for the Arizona Supreme Court’s announcement of a new Lawyer Apprentice Program. This will help address the access to justice crisis by enabling more graduates from ABA accerdiated law schools to start their careers in Arizona. It’s an innovative compromise on the national dialogue around bar exam and alternative licensure. It will help rural communities. It will help government entities fill open positions. As always, #ASULaw is excited to be a key partner in advancing this, including matching students with opportunities. Here’s the Court’s press release: https://lnkd.in/gVffiFqm

The Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University has a proven track record of producing impactful graduates, and their recent successes speak volumes. According to the American Bar Association, ASU Law secured an impressive 39 judicial clerkships for the 2023–24 year, a notable 15% of the graduating class, including seven federal and 32 state positions. A judicial clerkship offers a unique opportunity for law graduates to work closely with judges for one or two years, helping them formulate decisions. In a recent ASU News story, ASU Law alumni Noah Goldenberg and Shelby Respicio shared their experiences participating in a clerkship: https://ow.ly/M68R50Sv1qh

Last week, Justice Montgomery administered the State Bar Oath of Admission to fellow West Point classmate John Clady, marking the first time one West Point grad administered such an oath to another at our Court. Justice Montgomery says he was proud to lead the ceremony, which "brought together fellow West Point graduates and underscored their continuing commitment to service reflecting the best of 'Duty, Honor, Country,' both in and out of uniform." Congrats, Mr. Clady! ⚖️ #congratulations #welldone #arizonalawyer

Justice Ann A. Scott Timmer officially takes over the reins of the Arizona Supreme Court as Chief Justice this week. She is the 27th Chief Justice in Arizona and the fourth woman elected as Chief. Her five-year term is chock-full of priorities, including restoring lost public trust and confidence—and she walks us through her plan on how to address those issues in her op-ed featured today in The Arizona Republic | azcentral.com | La Voz. #courts #arizonalawyer #legalnews
You don't trust Arizona judges to rule without politics. It's my job to fix that
