[email protected] This petition proposes the permanent adoption of the Fast Trial and Alternative Resolution (FASTAR) rules in Pima County. The petition also proposes to modify the title of the FASTAR rules and FASTAR Rule 101 to eliminate references to a "pilot program." Further, this petition seeks to amend FASTAR Rule 126(a)(2) to clarify that an appeal from a FASTAR alternative resolution award would be entitled to a trial de novo governed by the Fast Trial rules, rather than a trial governed by the Civil Rules. The petition includes Exhibits 1 and 2. Further, a December 14, 2023 FASTAR status report to the Arizona Judicial Council (AJC) is filed concurrently with, and in support of, this rule petition.
